Tina Dillman

Tina Dillman is currently residing in Syracuse, New York, where she is pursuing her Masters of Divinity in an online program at Naropa University. She is also enrolled in Clinical Pastoral Education at Upstate Medical Hospital, which is a trauma one center, and she is employed as a full-time Chaplain at Crouse Hospital, where she focuses her care on patients with terminal illness, such as cancer. Tina moved back to CNY to help support her aging parents. Like most rural areas, funding for the arts is very limited and she had to reinvent herself in order to have a meaningful life here. She is still a practicing artist and is incorporating her spirituality and care practices into her work. Upcoming this summer 2026, she will be headed to Greece for a month to dive into her thesis studies on love with a residency at Cycladic Arts.
