Krystles Collection — One-off Eye Art, Stories & Purpose

A work in progress

Art from
real life.

I’m homeless and working two jobs while trying to rebuild my life. I still make time to draw, because art has been part of me for 15 years. I’m bringing those years of work together as one-off pieces and hoping to build something meaningful from them.

“A story from the heart. Art with a purpose.”

The collection

“I don't want to judge people by where they are in life. I want to understand the story that got them there.”

Eyes are my thing.

Eyes are my thing. I love the detail and the feeling you can put into a single eye. These one-off pieces bring together years of drawing, mostly eyes, with different moods, colours, textures and ideas. Each one has its own character.

The person behind the drawings

Why
I create.

I’m Krystle. I’ve been drawing for around 15 years, and I’ve built up a huge collection of work along the way. Eyes are what I come back to most — I love the detail, the little marks and the way a single eye can hold so much feeling. I’m now bringing years of drawings together and sharing them as one-off pieces.

Life hasn’t been easy lately. I’m homeless and working two jobs while trying to get back on my feet. I’m not telling you that for sympathy or pretending I’ve got everything sorted. It’s simply the truth of where I am right now. Drawing is something I’ve carried with me through a lot, and I still believe in what I can make.

My dream is for these pieces to find people who genuinely connect with them — people who want to own the art, keep it, collect it and, if they choose, trade it. I want the work to be valued for its detail, its individuality and the story behind it. These are one-off pieces from years of creating, not just images I’ve thrown together overnight. I know value is something an artist and a community build over time, and I’m willing to put the work in.

There’s a bigger reason behind all this, too. I want to build a life where I can help people who’ve been through hardship, because I know what it feels like to struggle and still have to keep going. One of my biggest hopes is to help my mum get safe and free from an abusive marriage. I want to be in a position to support her and give her a better chance at a peaceful life.

That’s what I mean when I say art with a purpose. I want to create something people believe in, something that can grow into real opportunities, and something that might one day help others as well. I’m starting with the art I’ve made over 15 years, a lot of heart, and the belief that my circumstances don’t have to be the end of my story.

The purpose

What this collection stands for

Dignity

People are more than their circumstances. Every story deserves to be treated with humanity.

Authenticity

The imperfections stay. The marks, texture and emotion are part of what makes the work mine.

Doing some good

If my art grows into something bigger, I want to use that opportunity to help people doing it tough and support my family. This is a hope for the future, and a reason to keep working towards it.
