Biography
 

Krislyn Dillard is an abstract oil painter inspired by nature and the search for the perfect form. She is influenced by duality, light, water movement, myths and folktales. Her origins from an suburbia middle class family leave her with a lack of connection to any one culture which she finds gives her an outside-looking-in perspective. She is continually driven to learn more about the art and the history of our world as well as the motivations of different cultures and the similarities we all share.

Krislyn's art is featured in many prominent collections. Her publications include Denali Magazine in February 2010, S.L.A.M Magazine in September 2010 and a review in The Willamette Weekly October 2010. Krislyn studied at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Or as well as Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles,Ca. Her recent exhibitions have included Crossover at the Launchpad Gallery, the juried Pacific Art Annual at the University of Oregon, participation in the Cascade AIDS Project Annual Art Evening & Auction and Spaces Between at The Darras Gallery.
