Playful and charming, Crystal Driedger’s original acrylic and oil paintings feature vibrant colours, enchanting textures and gentle, whimsical shapes.

Often her pieces are hand-carved into soft basswood or are painted with thick, buttery strokes of rich oil paint. Some are intricate depictions of nature – botanical art and scientific illustration work.

Many of Crystal’s pieces are inspired by memories and imaginings from a childhood spent in the forests and fields of her family farm.

Her work is varied and vast from murals to tiny realism in coloured pencil, from enamel pins to large-scale paintings of cows – her passion projects ebb and flow with her interests.

Crystals studio is in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada where she works full-time as an artist and illustrator.
