Vibhu Krishna (b. 1994, Lubbock, TX) is a New York-based Indian-American artist, medical student, and yogi who explores the intersection of these three practices through rigorous academic and artistic inquiry. By utilizing meditative, intricate ink drawings as a platform for creating installation, her artwork, in combination with study of health and medicine, has the ultimate goal of healing.

Upon receiving the 2016 Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet Award from Vanderbilt University (B.A.), Vibhu traveled extensively throughout southeast Asia, therein acquiring yoga teacher training and a deeper understanding of the origins of mind-body practice as a mechanism of healing. She currently attends Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons in New York City.

Open Studio will have a pop up yoga class component occurring January 12 thru January 15. Each class session has a limited number of spaces for participants and will be led by the Vibhu Krishna and Matt Adan.
