Hi, I’m Krystal, the artist behind K1 S’art Studio! I’m a Khmer American creative based in metro Atlanta. My love for art started early, and that childhood dream never left me. In my studio name, S’art, means “beautiful” and that’s what I try to bring into everything I create. Beauty has so many different forms manifesting unique meanings to everyone, which is what makes creating art so special.

To me, painting is more than just making something look nice, it’s a way to reconnect with my culture and share it with others. Khmer art and culture were almost erased, and creating is my way of keeping it alive. I especially love doing custom pieces that bring joy to people — whether it’s a portrait, a memory, or just something that speaks to them.

Thank you sooo so much for stopping by and supporting my art journey! Follow my socials to get a behind the scenes look at my creation process :)
