About Artist

Kristine Clark

I've spent the past decade photographing in alleyways and jungle trails of 30 nations, documenting places and people full of majesty and wonder. I want you to know the goat herder who paused for a moment in the Himalayas to admire the view, the French grandmother who grabbed my hand and pulled me into her apartment for coffee- all of the people who've heard the words "you're beautiful," and allowed me to create a photograph of them. www.kristineclark.com
