Here's a recent article about me >> Williamsburg Nerd

Kristy Lynn was born in New Albany, Indiana, and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina when she was eight years old. After graduating from East Carolina University in 2002 with a degree in studio art, she relocated to New York to start a new phase of life. During her several years in the city she worked at the Brooklyn Museum and Neue Galerie New York, while also exhibiting work at galleries including Stay Gold and About Glamour/AG Gallery. She saw amazing exhibits, heard interesting bands, and generally enjoyed life, garnering inspiration from all quarters. In 2006, Kristy Lynn moved to Tucson, Arizona with her sweetheart, where she has been working on new, more colorful paintings and conceptualizing future sculptures. The desert is raw and beautiful, with a powerful visual and psychic influence which she is enjoying it quite a lot.
