Crystal Wreden

Crystal Wreden is a Houston-based artist whose work explores creativity, transformation, and the beauty found within imperfection. Inspired by the ancient art of kintsugi, she believes art is a process of becoming — something that grows, shifts, breaks, and rebuilds through each honest attempt.
Her gentle yet powerful approach to teaching is grounded in empathy, encouraging artists to release judgment, embrace mistakes, and discover their unique artistic voice through the process itself.
