Instructor: Kristin Swenson-Lintault

Kristin is a multi-media artist living in the Pacific Northwest. She earned her MFA in Fiber/Textiles in 1996 and her BA in Fine Art-Drawing in 1993 at Southern Illinois University. She also studied painting at Hospitalfield House, a 13th C. Studio Arts Centre in Scotland, and studied traditional textile dyeing, washi hand papermaking and wood-fired ceramics in Japan and South Korea. She has worked in a range of media, including drawing, painting, textile dyeing and printing using natural plant dyes, paper pulp painting, ceramics and photography, and in 2001 began combining aspects of all into encaustic painting. She has exhibited her work locally, nationally and in Nakajo, Japan. Her encaustic paintings were juried into the first 2007 Annual Encaustic Conference exhibition as well as this year's 2009 Conference show at 301 Gallery at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts. Her blog KSL STUDIO is her art studio journal of recent work, sketchbook drawings and travel photos that together explore her creative process.
