Kris Davidson is a Swedish-born artist whose early life spanned the Scandinavian subarctic and Texas. She spent 15 years working as an editorial photographer before transitioning into a research-driven art practice that explores how stories are translated across past, present, and future. Using collage and mixed media on photographic prints, Kris investigates memory, media, and storytelling across deep time.

Her photography has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Lonely Planet Traveler, and other major international publications. Before her photography career, Kris worked in branding and communications in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also an experienced educator, having collaborated with the National Geographic Society and the Academy of Art University.
