Founding
KRISTEL STANLEY is a Canadian digital and hand-drawn artist. Kristel started her artistic journey as a youngster, but only recently devoted enough time to her practice to be able to make something of it.
She is most well-known for her Cosmic Hug and Death to Life pieces. For these, and indeed her full collection, Kristel incorporates story-telling and life lessons into her art pieces. Kristel has walked a hard road, leaving her Christian faith as a teenager, only to return to a belief in a Supreme Creator. Kristel is still a broken human that battles with herself daily, but she lives in a state of constant self-improvement & reflection. Her artwork is inspired by her continuous growth and journey.
Words hold power;
Words have been used to establish cultures since the beginning of time; through stories, songs & legends, beginning long before we could write words down.
Music can accomplish much that a mere conversation cannot. Music connects, shares experiences, encourages, heals and challenges thoughts & patterns.
Music can change people.

Monuments help us to REMEMBER
our journey, the tough times that we have been through and our victories.
...Because, unless we remember our histories, we will be doom to repeat it.
At MakeWAVES, our definition of a monument is, an expression, a personal reflection or a life lesson that we have learned; through past experience and or struggle...
...a lesson we don't want to forget.

Naturally.
