Kristopher attended the art program at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY, where he received his BFA with a concentration in sculpture (graduating cum laude and being awarded Departmental Distinction in Art). He then enrolled in the postgraduate sculpture program at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where he received his MFA. In school, Kristopher developed his interest and skills in wood and metalworking. After graduating, he moved to Atlanta, GA, where he worked as a metal fabricator. Applying this experience, Kristopher moved to his home state of Connecticut to launch a business designing and making artistic furniture. He ran his business until 2009 when he decided to close his furniture shop to focus singularly on his life's purpose—to make art.

Kristopher's artistic focus shifts between several series that include, interactive sculpture, wall sculpture, abstract painting, and allegorical painting, all conceptually connected by themes directly and indirectly related to or inspired by Nature. Through an ongoing series of allegorical paintings, using symbolism and satire, Kristopher explores themes of environmental degradation brought on by human activity. He examines the consequences of our relationship to the natural world where we have placed ourselves above and outside of Nature as apposed to intrinsically connected to it.

In his abstract painting and wall sculpture, he uses color, shape, line, material, and composition, expressively to create evocative, visually immersive works.

Currently, Kristopher is focused on the development of a sculpture series titled, 'Time Will Tell', which will ultimately include twenty-four, interactive, sound-generating, mechanical sculptures. Individually, the sculptures will vary in scale and material but they will all generate the sound of rain. The sculptures in the series 'Time Will Tell' raise questions about technology, utility, purpose, and our relationship to Nature.
