About Me

Kristen Hall: Kristen Hall is a US illustrator and animal artist. She works both traditionally and digitally. Diagnosed with autism in her late teens, she learned to see emotional expression and communication in a unique way from a very young age, especially in animals. Animals communicate clearly and effectively; they simply communicate differently from humans, similar to how autistic people communicate differently from the rest of humanity. All creatures communicate, and typical human communication is only one form. Because Kristen had to learn to understand human communication and expression by trial and error rather than by instinct, she was able to extend that same logic toward understanding animals. Kristen strives to help others see the expression and communication she sees in animals. Clients include Bible Visuals International, the American Quarter Horse Museum and Hall of Fame, and Michelin North America.
