Christy Dickinson

Christy Dickinson is an abstract painter based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, whose work draws profound inspiration from the architecture, land, and colors of the American Southwest. Her artistic vision was shaped during a transformative 2024 residency in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she developed here color palette and series exploring the intersection of adobe architecture and contemporary abstract expression. She holds a Master in Liberal Studies from Hamline University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the College of Visual Arts in Minnesota. Her academic foundation provides the conceptual framework for her exploration of place, memory, and cultural landscape through paint. A pivotal moment in her artistic development came through her participation in the month-long Women's Art Intensive at Saint Catherine's University in 2021. This breakthrough work motivated her to commit fully to her studio practice and pursue her artistic voice with renewed focus.
