A story of texture, colour, and creative expression, where art meets design.
In a special collaboration with Story Surfaces, artist Kris Cush has brought her expressive original paintings into the world of high-end home design, showcased in our upcoming Align Kitchens industry event held at Align Gallery.
This partnership merges fine art with functional living spaces, transforming kitchens into canvases. Through bold textures and vivid colour stories, Kris’s work elevates each interior into something more, a place where art breathes life into design, and everyday moments feel more inspired.
This is where creativity meets craftsmanship. Where every surface tells a story.
The Art Behind the Surfaces
Kris’s creative world draws deeply from the raw beauty of South-East Queensland and Tasmania. Her paintings explore the subtle, intricate interplay between perception and reality, layering texture, colour, and emotion through acrylic and oil mediums.
With an intuitive approach and a fascination for organic abstraction, Kris invites you into wild, vivid landscapes shaped by nature’s rhythm. Through her masterful layering technique, each piece balances transparency, translucency, and opacity, revealing a story within every surface.
Her art doesn’t just decorate, it narrates.
A Curated Experience at Align Kitchens
Visitors to our next industry showcase will see Kris Cush’s art paired with Story Surfaces’ premium porcelain and Align’s custom cabinetry. It’s a celebration of design that’s tactile, textural, and emotionally resonant.
