Artist Shannon Kringen, known as “Goddess Kring,” decorated her car to express her colorful style.
Shannon Kringen’s 2010 Honda Fit is festooned with thousands of rhinestones. The car glistens down the highway and bedazzles onlookers wherever she goes.
On this day, she was at Lynnwood’s 164th Street artesian well to fill up 5-gallon jugs of water at the public tap. In the 12-car lot there were two Teslas, a few pickups and some SUVs. Her car was the center of attention, as usual, with people snapping photos and gawking.
“I love her car,” said Salamawit Tesfamariam, of Shoreline, who took a picture and asked Kringen questions about her car.
Kringen, 54, of Seattle, had stopped for water on her way back from a modeling job in Bellingham. For 30 years, she has been an art model, often in the nude, where she might wear a rhinestone necklace, at most.
“When I’m modeling people stare at me because they are drawing, so now with my art car people just stare at me for totally different reasons,” she said. “Part of me is introverted and more quiet. This car does not look like a quiet person drives the car. I don’t go to parties, but I do my art which looks like a party.”
