Born in New York (1979), Krista moved to Chicago to pursue a graduate degree in photography. In 2004, she received the Graduate Opportunity Award to begin her studies at Columbia College Chicago. In graduate school, Krista became less interested in the act of photographing and more interested in a conceptual look at the way media forms out perception of the world. Since receiving her MFA, her work has been exhibited at the SOHO20 Gallery in New York City, Packer Schopf Gallery, and the David Weinberg Gallery in Chicago. She is currently an adjunct professor of photography at Columbia College Chicago.
