About Kristen Hazzard
"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." - Edgar Degas

I am a New Jersey-based digital artist and photographer inspired by the people, places, and things around her. I am currently the associate photo editor at The Food Network Magazine and a part-time photo editor for The Daily Beast.
I grew up in a town in South Jersey, where I discovered my passion for the arts. When I wasn’t on the soccer field, I was in a ballet class or photographing. By senior year, I shifted my focus to visual and fine arts and pursued a bachelor of fine arts degree in photography. During my undergrad, I learned to create artwork that I was proud of. While not tied down to one genre, I specialize in sports, street, and event photography. I graduated with honors from New Jersey City University in 2019.
Following graduation, I spent the summer interning at Redux Pictures, a photography agency where I helped create content for the company’s social media platforms and communicate with digital publications. Soon afterward, I interned at The Daily Beast, an online news publication where she created and edited digital content for their daily news articles. From those experiences, I developed a passion for the digital media and communication industry, and am now working on my master's in digital media at Rutgers University.
My artwork was featured and/or appeared in the Gothic Times Newspaper, The Daily Beast, Yahoo, and MSNBC.
While not working, I spend my time organizing and watching sports (specifically basketball, football, and recently hockey).
