The Lisa D Show wtih Kristen Neveu



Kristen Neveu is a visual artist living and working in West Evanston. She is currently showing works at the Evanston Public Library, with an art reception on April 27, 6-8 p.m. Today we talk to Kristen about making room in life for creativity (as opposed to television) and the need to get art in front of people (any people). 



Evanston Public Library is showing a combination of old and new works by Kristen, abstract color formations and collages with nods to the past. A new body of work will show in West Dundee this May titled Clearing, featuring works that are smaller in size and inspired by Elton John’s song Daniel. 

Kristen is also participating in this June’s annual visual arts celebration Evanston Made, where she will open her studio to the public, show work at Evanston Art Center and show work at an area business. Visit kristenneveu.com for more information
