Krysta Dimick was born and raised in Sandwich Illinois, attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for a B.S. in Architecture and received a Masters in Architecture from the University of Utah. She currently lives in South Salt Lake, where she works as an architect, is mother of three young children, and is a practicing artist. She also enjoys hiking, photography, travel, wakeboarding, construction, party planning, prepping from scratch, catching the full moon and gardening, all of which influence her work.

“Bouncing back and forth from different scales of projects, ranging from community planning down to brush strokes allows me to understand the world in varying paces. There’s something about the back and forth that allows a glimpse into a big picture of connection while also getting to revel in the beauty of detail.

My work is often created alongside my children, whom I find inspiration in their own freeing artistry, and in the experience of discovering life together. I create art that longs to invite imagination and spiritual reflection as I abstractly address ideas of nature, the built environment and the communities of individuals that inhabit both. I use opaque and transparent methods to create the essence of light and water, shadow and discovery. Pure materials and elements found in nature will be brought into or alongside my canvases often to humble me with their creation and I plead to translate even a bit of their wonder and whimsy into my work.  I hope to forever inhabit the naivety and passion of a student, and try always to explore and play while creating. I also wish to teach my findings, or share the knowledge I’ve been presented with about architecture and the built and natural spaces we are allowed to care for.”
