In Residence: New York

In Residence: New York
On Holiday Sketchbook: NYC Edition
By Kristen Coates
Limited Edition Zine – Ships December 2025

Step into the studio, suitcase, and sketchbook of Kristen Coates with this intimate, limited-edition visual diary from her On Holiday creative trip to New York City.

Part artist’s journal, part personal travelogue, this sketchbook captures the textures, color stories, handwritten notes on some of her favorite places and spaces in the city, and early moments behind Kristen’s evolving On Holiday residency project. From painted corners of boutique hotels to light-drenched gallery walks, each page offers a glimpse into the inspiration behind the work, raw, refined, and completely original.

This isn’t a mass-produced product. It’s a creative artifact, a love letter to beauty, movement, and the art of being present while On Holiday.
