The Art World Is Not Real Life.

But I’ve Made It My Whole Life.

What I Do

VISUAL ART

GRAPHIC DESIGN

CREATIVE STRATEGY

My work has been featured in some stellar places.

“Behind her Twiggy good looks and disarmingly cheery Legally Blonde ingenue exterior lurks one of our time’s most mordant and charmingly sassy social critics. Those who appreciate great art—those who get her work—will want to get her work. ”

Adam Robinson | NYT Bestselling Author
“Simmons’ art enters into a discourse about excess: how much is too much, what is satiety? The artist does not proffer an answer, nor does she offer her own opinion. Instead, she spurs us to challenge our own.”

Epic Eye Magazine | Gabriella Coffey
“With myriad solo exhibitions and participating in the Whitney Musuem’s Debtfair, Simmons is an artist to watch out for.”

Samantha Matcovksy | Huffington Post
“Kristin’s voice and amazing art will help spark meaningful conversations -- which is always the precursor to cultural perception shifts -- we expect that her work will raise significant awareness for the United Nations SDG5 causes.”

Jim Van Eerden | 5th Element Group
“Simmons is tackling some of our culture’s most hot-button issues with her work.”

Carly Zinderman | Just Luxe
“Whether it’s mental health, pop culture, politics or capitalism, the unapologetically clever New York-based pop artist doesn’t shy away from the polemical.”

Eliza Ali | Art She Says
“Prepare to be obsessed with Kristin Simmons’ exhibit at Bergdorf Goodman…a glittery, fabulous, irreverent collection of artwork that is absolutely begging to be instagrammed.”
