Christina (Tina) Galbiati is a designer and nationally exhibited mixed media artist whose practice bridges fine art and design. Central to her approach is a deep engagement with process, blending analog and digital techniques informed by culture and historical design movements. This practice results in bold, contemporary visual systems and material-driven narratives. She also brings her creativity into the built environment as a muralist, and is also deeply engaged in community-centered arts projects. Beyond the studio, Christina shares her expertiseas an educator at Moravian University, and Penn State Lehigh Valley where she was recognized with the 2024 Teaching Excellence Award for adjunct faculty. She holds a BFA in Communication Design from Kutztown University, and an MFA in Visual Arts - Graphic Design from Marywood University, and lives and works in northeastern PA & Lehigh Valley region.
