Working in a variety of mediums including installation, drawing, painting, and printmaking, Christa Dalien’s art explores the diverse relationships and interactions that we have with our surroundings. She is interested in folklore and mythology used to explain and interpret the unexplainable. Dalien searches through the tangible landscapes and structures that often show signs of wear, human impact and mystery, then reconstructs them into a visual emotional language. Christa Dalien is an artist and educator currently living in Santa Fe, NM with her husband, son and 2 cats. Her studio practice includes a variety of different mediums including installation, drawing, painting, and printmaking. Originally from Minnesota, she received her BFA in Painting in 2003. She received her MFA in printmaking from the University of Kansas, in 2007. She currently teaches Art History (remotely) for Washburn University in Topeka, KS and stays home with her son Arlo.

“…a place where life, and love, is reaffirmed through the act of painting.” – Arthur Peña, New American Paintings, Dallas Contributor.
Artist Raychael Stine and curator Nancy Zastudil present an exhibition of Stine’s paintings that make visible—literally, picture—experiences, memories, and the passing of time. The selection of works translates the general appeal of Stine’s personal commitment to specific things: paint and its possibilities as material and image, the physical intimate experience of looking at and making paintings, and relationships that are based on an exchange between looking and touching. Through her use of color, scale and proximity, Stine depicts her dedication to the ‘thing’ of painting—what it is to re-construct, not de-construct, an experience.
Raychael Stine received her MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2010 and is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico. She has shown in California, Illinois and extensively throughout Texas including solo shows at Art Palace in Houston, TX and Eugene Binder in Marfa, TX. In 2009 Stine was a Joan Mitchell Foundation Award Nominee and in 2013 she participated in the Bemis Contemporary Arts Center Residency. In 2008 Stine was Jurors Pick in New American Paintings #78, Western Exhibition. http://raychaelstine.com
