Cristin Zimmer

 

Cristin is an artist based in Lander, WY.  She received her BA in Studio Art with a emphasis in ceramics from Pitzer College in Claremont, CA in 2001 and her MFA from the University of Utah in 2010. Cristin’s studio practice incorporates diverse mediums as she approaches every endeavor in her life through the lens of an artist.  Currently, she is working mainly in ceramics and painting and both practices and bodies of work inform one another.  Concern for formal topics such as line and color and the way they relate to three-dimensional form as well as found objects can be seen in her paintings and functional pottery alike.  The shadows and graphic lines that can be observed in nature and also in whimsical children’s book illustrations are inspiration for her surfaces.  Cristin exhibits and sells her work regionally and nationally.
