About Krista
Drawing on more than 25 years behind the camera, Krista Joy Niles brings an award-winning photojournalism background to her fine art photography practice. Her work merges documentary observation with abstract, painterly forms.
Her journalism career included work for the New York Times, Associated Press, and other major outlets. She contributed to the Times' September 11 coverage, which received the 2002 Pulitzer Prize.
After leaving daily journalism in 2006, Krista deepened her artistic foundation through teaching documentary arts to youth and pursuing an M.A. in Art History at the University of Arizona, where she served as Ansel Adams Intern at the Center for Creative Photography.
Currently developing a body of work for a solo exhibition, Krista creates visual narratives that speak to the ties between trauma, memory, and family.
