Ep 121: Kristy Gordon - Painter & Author of “Become a Great Artist”

March 05, 2025 • Angela de Burger

Kristy Gordon is a Canadian-born artist living in New York City who is an accomplished painter, teacher and writer. Her work has been widely exhibited and her paintings hang in more than 600 collections worldwide.

She’s a three-time recipient of the prestigious Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and has participated in residencies and apprenticeships in Italy, China, Norway and France. She’s now helping to develop the next generation of artists as an adjunct professor at the New York Academy of Art.

Her book, Become a Great Artist, was recently published by Page Street Publishing. The book begins by helping readers set a clear intention to make meaningful, authentic art, and then provides 13 weekly lessons with practical steps to transform a vision into a reality.

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Kristy about her creative journey, how she reflects multi-layered storylines and contemporary themes in her paintings, and she shares sneak peeks from her book about finding the inspiration to create daily and finding your own creative voice.
