Hi! I’m Kristin M Roach.

I’m an artist, author and business owner. Trained in painting with a history in craft & fibers, I take an interdisciplinary approach in my studio. Here you will find current collections of works and my studio journal.

Daily Studies & Notes

In my daily studies on IG, I give you a peek into my studio, sketchbook, and the natural world that inspires what I create.

Sticking close to home today. Just a simple step outside is giving the most wonderful view. I had so much fun last month I’m doing it again! This time with a Make and Take. Learn to make a zine, ask me questions while you do. Roach Motel and Craft Leftovers pop up shop will be open. And of course prints and art available for purchase - makes a great valentine just saying’. Pre Dawn playing with ink washes and dreaming of summer days. Curious what inspires me? You really should sign up for my mailing list. I write you a letter every couple weeks telling stories and sharing the books, podcasts, and music that inspire my art & life 🤓 Spending this cold day making new memories for 2022. Drawing and tea with Lucy. It’s a good start. morning walk. Thanks for everyone who came by last Thursday for my first open studio event at 138 Main Street. And thanks to my friend Mindy for taking such lovely photos of my set up and helping spread the word! I feel so supported by my local community! New Junk Mail Migration prints debuting tonight at the Holiday Open Studio in Downtown Ames! The Roach Motel Zine Distro is back! Sneak peak of Holiday Open Studio — hand dyed yarn pop up shop! Quite a surprise when you walk up into the studio. A segment of Aura Clonic Tonic will greet you at this Thursday’s holiday open house! Stop by between 5-8pm to see works new and old and finish out your holiday shopping. More sneak peeks coming soon. As a thank you for helping Jason and I build the apothecary shelves for @littlewoodsherbal , I gifted Mindy (owner of @cooksemporiumames ) an archival print of the painting she’d had an eye on. Yesterday she showed up with quite the surprise — what an honor to see my work given the 👑 treatment for over at @amesframeshop — I have the best neighbors here in @downtownames
