About the Artist
Her desire to create and to encourage others’ creativity has led Krispen Spencer down numerous career paths. With aspirations to teach the arts (creative writing, music, movement, painting, and sculpting) to challenged children, she earned a BFA in Special Education and Theater.
Unable to find work in that field without teacher certification, she focused instead on her own creativity, opening a creative writing business which quickly became an advertising boutique. For twelve years, she created multimedia ad campaigns, winning more than 200 awards in the advertising business.
By 1989,she had earned a Master’s Degree in Literature and was planning to pursue an MFA in Creative Writing. Then she was offered an opportunity to teach creativity at a Texas university. All of her theatrical, writing and visual arts talents, combined with her advertising experience, provided a good foundation for teaching the creative process and creative writing to journalism and advertising majors. The courses were so popular, they drew students from many other colleges, campus-wide, serving to encourage them to follow their creative dreams.
Since earning her MFA, Krispen has focused much of her time on developing her signature method of painting and teaching others her unique techniques. For more information on her artistic process, please see "About the Art." For information on workshops, please email
Her award-winning paintings are in numerous private and corporate collections, as well as in galleries. Not surprisingly, her subject matter is creativity - nature’s and ours as human beings. “Like nature,” she says, we have our seasons of growth, of change, of renewal, and of rebirth. To see our lives and all of the changes and uncertainties in our lives as part of nature’s creative process is to know that we are truly one with the universe, and that, for the human spirit, there is no finality.
