Member Biography

Kristi Galindo Dyson

ARTIST STATEMENT

"Making art and participating in the creative process is a lifetime pursuit and has become a way for me to process all aspects of my life. The visual language that I develop as I interpret my environment and integrate it with my life experiences helps me to see beyond the obvious and to perceive the unity and order in creation. My faith in Jesus as my Lord is foundational as I discover His hand at work everywhere. Through my work I come to a deeper awareness of God’s presence in my life, I find purpose for being and I experience joy in the process."
