Kristina Scheetz Rible is a local artist that has never shown her work in a Jersey City gallery. Although she spent most of her adult life moving around Brooklyn escaping the swing of the wrecking ball, she has now settled in Downtown Jersey City for over three years. She has a small studio in her apartment on Wayne Street and is currently working as a full time Art Teacher in a charter school in Westfield, NJ. Kristina has her studio art degree from Hunter College in NYC. She also holds degrees from NYU and most recently earned her masters degree in art education from Kean University in New Jersey. She is a sculptor, a painter, and a photographer. Her favorite medium is ceramics and her work in this area usually focuses on dark subjects, including a creepy puppet that chain smokes, barren trees, a human organ with eyelashes, and sewn together flesh-like clay.
