Meet the Artist
Christy Dickinson
From the Gallery:
We are thrilled to welcome Christy Dickinson to The Collected Space Gallery. Christy’s oil paintings have an incredible vibrancy and personality that immediately drew us to her work. Her use of color feels joyful, warm and wonderfully alive, creating pieces that can completely change the energy of a room. There is something about Christy’s work that simply makes us happy. Each painting invites you to look a little longer, discover another detail and experience the sense of imagination and joy she brings to the canvas. We are incredibly excited to share her work with you and proud to have Christy as part of our gallery.
Christy Dickinson is an abstract painter based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, whose work draws profound
inspiration from the architecture, land, and colors of the American Southwest.
Her artistic vision was shaped during a transformative 2024 residency in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she developed here color palette and series exploring the intersection of adobe architecture and contemporary abstract
expression.
She holds a Master in Liberal Studies from Hamline University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the College of Visual Arts in Minnesota. Her academic foundation provides the conceptual framework for her exploration of place, memory, and cultural landscape through paint.
A pivotal moment in her artistic development came through her participation in the month-long Women's ArtIntensive at Saint Catherine's University in 2021. This breakthrough work motivated her to commit fullyto her studio practice and pursue her artistic voice with renewed focus.
