---

Kristina is an avid participant and consumer of the arts. She has over 30 years of experience as a pianist, both in performing and teaching. She loves to accompany other artists as well as solo. She is also experienced with hand bells, having played in a professional hand bell choir in the Las Vegas area. Kristina also has ten years of experience in community dance programs including tap, jazz, ballet and modern dance. She is the mother of five boys and hopes to bring more opportunities for art-based programs to the city so that her boys can share in her passion. 

Kristina has spent the last six years as executive director of Kingman Center for the Arts. During this time, she has been executive producer to over 26 live community theater productions. She is currently overseeing the renovation plans of a local historic theater into a performing arts venue. Other activities she is engaged in are Disney Musicals in Schools, a program that creates sustainable live theater programs in the city’s elementary schools, SOAR, Student Outreach and Art Renditions, an art-based, opioid education program and oversight of the KCA Gallery and the education space that is run by Kingman Center for the Arts.

Carol has a lifelong appreciation for the arts. All the arts. She is currently a

photographer and digital artist with a unique eye. Her interest in photography

was piqued by a class given by a Canon representative at the Grand Canyon,

where she was living at the time. A few years later when she moved to Kingman,

she took a class through MCC and started learning how to shoot with manual

settings. She spent three summers traveling the United States and Canada in a

truck camper and believes that travel, whether it is close by or across the country,

is conducive to learning, to expression and enhances creativity. Carol has been

involved in the gallery and gift shop since 2018.
