About the Creator

Kristen Balyeat

Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

    Your ability to vividly capture the true essence of an object is unmatched. I bet you can make the dentist office sound appealing. Well done, Kristen!
