Kris Gaughran grew up watching her aspiring-artist mother entering paintings in 4H competitions, intricately decorating cookies, and never giving up on her passion to create. “She inspired me to do the same,” Kris explains. “From early on, I found so many ways to be creative. I would draw, doodle, and add illustrations to the stories I read. My mom’s unwavering example continues to fuel my artistic expression today.”
