Kathy Krismer: Debut Solo Exhibition
June 9 – July 4, 2026
Art on Main is proud to present the debut solo exhibition of Dallas artist Kathy Krismer.
Featuring bold color, striking geometric forms, and expressive brushwork, this inaugural collection introduces a vibrant body of abstract work that explores intuition, balance, movement, and emotional connection. Through dynamic compositions and fearless use of color, Krismer creates paintings that invite viewers to engage their imagination and discover their own meaning within the work.
Created through an instinctive and exploratory process, the collection reflects both personal expression and creative discovery. Circles, lines, blocks of color, and gestural marks become visual conversations—revealing moments of contrast, harmony, tension, and joy. The result is a series of paintings that feel at once contemporary, playful, and deeply personal.
What makes this exhibition especially compelling is that it marks the public debut of an artist stepping into a new creative chapter. Drawing on a lifetime of experiences—from international travel and collegiate athletics to a successful career in Dallas—Krismer brings a unique perspective to her work, one rooted in curiosity, resilience, and human connection.
Whether you're drawn to abstraction, bold contemporary design, or simply the excitement of discovering a new artist, this exhibition offers an opportunity to experience the emergence of a distinctive artistic voice.

About the Artist
Kathy Krismer is a Dallas-based artist and native Texan whose work celebrates the expressive potential of color, shape, and abstraction. Born in Houston and raised in part through extensive travels in the Middle East, Krismer developed an appreciation for culture, movement, and visual storytelling from an early age.
A former All-American athlete in both basketball and diving at Texas Tech University, Krismer later pursued polo and built a successful career as one of the most sought-after massage therapists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Today, she channels her energy, curiosity, and life experiences into a growing artistic practice defined by bold color, contemporary forms, and intuitive expression.
When she isn't painting, Kathy enjoys spending time with her beloved French Bulldog, Gronk, who keeps her company both in and out of the studio.
