Kristina Terihaj was born on 5 January 1985 in Slavonski Brod as the first of three children. Immediately after she was born she was diagnosed with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. Kristina has needed a wheelchair since birth, and is completely reliant on support. Kristina attended school until the 8th class, but due to the distance it was inconceivable to her parents that she could attend grammar school. In this way Kirstina lost her friends, but she found a connection again thanks to joining the youth choir. Ms Terihaj receives great support in her home region, and money was collected for a major operation.
Kristina Terihaj started drawing in October 2021. She finds drawing relaxing. Ms Terihaj is mainly learning drawing online.
