Kristen Anderson is a visual artist working in felt at her Bigfork, MN studio. With a background in biology and art, she approaches her work with an ecological lens and often creates felt to represent her studies. She partners with the scientific community to develop work, which has even included processing (rolling) large-scale felts together. She enjoys infusing her enthusiasm for the natural world and feltmaking through classes and individual or group shows, primarily in northern Minnesota.
