Biography
 Artist and Scientist Kindra Crick
|
Kindra Crick is a multimedia artist who explores the intersection of science and art, and the creative possibilities which emerge from the cross-pollination of our material and imagined worlds.
Crick is especially fascinated by the human brain - our complex machine - which can fathom the beginning of time and the nature of its own thought. However, even after centuries of study, scientists are only now starting to chart the mysterious biological map of that thought. Through research and collaborations with scientists, she creates dynamic installations and layered mixed-media work that incorporates drawings, diagrams, maps, and imagery from under the microscope. |
Crick lives and works in Portland, Oregon and has exhibited internationally including Christie’s, The Phillips Collection, the New York Hall of Science, the Littman Gallery, PLACE Gallery, and MDI Biological Laboratory. Her artwork is included in the LMB collection in Cambridge, England, the Gordon Gilkey Print Center at the Portland Art Museum, and the Jordan Schnitzer Collection.
She has given talks about the intersection of art and science at Princeton University, Reed College, Lewis and Clark College, the Phillips Collection, Washington State University, University of Wisconsin, Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and the Portland Art Museum. Her work has been featured in the HuffPost, PBS NewsHour CANVAS, the da Vinci Pursuit, Science Magazine, Oregon ArtsWatch and Oregon Art Beat.
As a board member and volunteer with NW Noggin, an arts-integrated neuroscience outreach group, she reaches a wide range of audiences from K-12 schools to Congress.
Crick has a degree in Molecular Biology from Princeton University and a Certificate in Painting from School at the Art Institute of Chicago.
