Kristen Hoard





Kristen Hoard’s journey with metal sculpture began in 1999 when a friend suggested that she take metal sculpture classes.  Having always loved metal sculpture, she enrolled in her first class at The Crucible in Oakland, and has been hooked ever since. Kristen quickly discovered that using a forty foot extension cord to work on the patio of her Bay Area condo was not the most ideal metal sculpture studio setup she soon migrated 120 miles northeast to Midtown Sacramento where she found a house with a two and a half car garage for her studio space.

Working in Sacramento for over twelve years, Kristen has been building her talent and skill with metal sculpture. Inspired by her trips to Burning Man, Kristen started exploring sculptures that incorporate fire, flames or LED lighting.  She has also completed several large corporate sculpture pieces and public artwork that can be seen around the Bay Area and Sacramento. Kristen recently finished a large lotus flower firepit for Siegfried and Roy’s home in Las Vegas.

This past year she has been taking apart clocks and scavenging antique fairs for items to go into her new steampunk pieces. She regularly participates in art festivals throughout Northern California, including the Palo Alto Fine Art Festival and the Crocker Art Museum Holiday show. Kristen’s work is often featured at local galleries like the Kennedy Gallery, The Artisan Gallery, 2110 Gallery, and Patris S12.
