Meet ArtChick (and Nina)
I’m Kristine Di Grigoli Paige: photographer, director and painter. Fashion and portraits pay the bills. Surrealism is my first love. My dog Nina is my favorite model. After 20+ years behind the camera, I’m passing it all on, and I’m learning the newest tech right alongside you.
