Kris Horton · South Texas Artist
From My Life to Your Walls
I’m a South Texas artist inspired by the land I call home — its light, warmth, wildflowers, and the quiet beauty found in everyday life.
But my work isn’t shaped by nature alone.
As a Firefighter/Paramedic with the San Antonio Fire Department, I witness both the fragility and strength of life every day. That perspective has changed the way I see what truly matters — and deepened my desire to honor it through my art.
Whether I’m painting florals, landscapes, or beloved pets, my hope is the same: that each piece feels personal — something that lives with you, grows with you, and quietly becomes part of your home’s story.
