MOSES LAKE — Krista Courier didn’t start out to become either a painter or a business owner. “We moved to Moses Lake about four years ago,” said Courier. “We moved here because my 13-year-old son is autistic and he suffered a lot of trauma in school. We came here right before COVID started and needed an outlet. So we started painting.” Courier, who worked as a certified nursing assistant, an emergency room technician and a hospital administrator during a 19-year career in the medical field, said while she picked up painting to help her son, it turned out she was the one who stuck with it.
