Cristi Rinklin received her MFA from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in 1999, and her BFA in painting from Maryland Institute, College of Art in 1989.  She has been creating and exhibiting her work for over twenty years.  Rinklin’s paintings address how the ubiquitous presence of technology has altered the way we imagine subconscious space.  Her work draws upon influences of Baroque painting, Asian and European prints and Pop imagery as well as technological means of remote viewing found in "screen space."

Cristi Rinklin has exhibited her work throughout the United States, as well as venues in Rome, and Amsterdam.  Rinklin is represented by Jancar Gallery in Los Angeles. Other noteworthy recent exhibitions include Big Bang! Abstraction for the 21st Century  group exhibition at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, Heidi Hove and Cristi Rinklin, a two person exhibition at Rhys Gallery, Boston, and Nuvolomondo, a solo installation at the Remis Sculpture Court, Tufts University Art Gallery, Medford, MA.  Her paintings will be featured in the 2009 Northeast edition of New American Paintings. 

Rinklin is the recipient of a grant from the Berkshire Taconic Artist’s Resource Trust and the Jerome Foundation Fellowship, and has been a Visiting Artist/Scholar at the American Academy in Rome.  She is currently a professor of Painting and Drawing at the College of the Holy Cross, in Worcester, MA where she just received tenure.  Cristi Rinklin lives and works in Boston, MA.
