Kristen Letts Kovak serves as Senior Associate Dean for Academics and Student Success and Associate Teaching Professor at Carnegie Mellon University's College of Fine Arts. She teaches courses in drawing, painting, and aesthetic philosophy, including the interdisciplinary seminar 'Passport to the Arts.'
Her artistic practice investigates perceptual patterning and cognitive relationships through abstract-representational dialogues. Recent series like 'Out of Order' explore chronic illness using visually destabilized compositions, while 'Monstrous Sentiments' draws from Gothic literature to examine human resilience. Research focuses on pedagogical strategies for creative risk-taking, supported by a Wimmer Faculty Fellowship.
Exhibitions include solo shows at institutions like the Westmoreland Museum of American Art and group exhibitions internationally. Awards recognize both artistic contributions and educational innovation.
