Kristin Quinn earned her BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in 1984 and her MFA in painting from Indiana University in 1988. She has been a Professor of Art at Saint Ambrose University in Davenport since 1989.

I grew up in a house of optical phenomena. My father was a physicist with a specialty in optics (although neighbors claimed he worked at the Optical Department at Sears). Lasers, lenses, prisms, and holographs were plentiful; as were lessons on the natural world. In our house, a solar eclipse became a graduate level seminar. On long car trips, we passed the time with questions to stump Dad: Why was the sky orange, what caused hail, and how were tunnels built under the bay? (Incidentally, we refer to these questions now as Tunnel Talk" questions).
