Hi, I'm Kristy Gordon!

Hi, I'm Kristy Gordon

A Canadian-born artist based in New York City. My paintings have been described by Galleries West as “contradictory and enigmatic scenes (that) unravel centuries of power relations and imagine a new future.”

I obtained my BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2011 and completed my MFA at The New York Academy of Art in 2013. Currently, I serve as an adjunct Professor at the New York Academy of Art.

My artwork has been widely showcased in solo and group exhibitions across Canada, the United States, Europe, and China. Notable venues include the European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona, Spain, the National Academy Museum in NYC, and Flowers Gallery in NYC.
