Hi, I'm Kristi, the mind behind Mis-bee-Haven designs.

Back in 2024 I made my first digital collage. I cut my grandson out of a photo and placed him on top of a fly agaric mushroom. It was rough, but adorable. After that I started putting him in all sorts of weird scenes. It wasn't until 2025 that I started using flowers.

In 2025 I signed up for an art business course and I wanted something new to developed and produce for the class. After scrolling through my camera roll it was obvious that nature should be at the heart of my new work. Since I was a child I have snapped photos of interesting rocks, pretty flowers, intricate clouds, fall leaves, insects, mushroom, and so much more.

The first piece I made for class is a pink lily on a dark blue starry sky. The contrast between the light and the dark was so mesmerizing, I could not stop looking at it, and saying "that's SO pretty." That was when I knew what kind of art I wanted make for the class.

However, I have never liked cut flowers, I find them to be sad. "Here honey, I brought you some flowers to watch die..." Not my kind of thing. But, in my art, that dying flower can live on forever. I get the opportunity to rescue the flower and brighten even more lives with its beauty.

I try and make the play of dark and light, smooth and rough, plain and detailed, contrast and enhance the subject. Ok, what I really mean in plain words is, I try and make each piece as striking and pretty as possible. My goal is to make you say "that is SO pretty."
