Kristan Simmons – Johnson City, TN

I am a wife, mother to two adult daughters, former teacher, and now artist and owner of Cherry Hill Art. I taught myself to paint in 2005 and have painted many different series in all kinds of processes over the years.

I opened my art studio when I became disabled in 2020. I now illustrate my passion for life through art as a full-time artist selling studio artwork.
