Based in Sydney, Cribbin expresses predominately through Sculpture, Ceramics, Photography and Installation. Exploring notions around Phenomenology, Spirituality, The Body and Architecture, her current practice investigates the relationship between the human self and the divine self.

Before embarking on a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Sculpture at the National Art School, Cribbin's training began in a pottery village in Vietnam, inspiring her to study under several artists in Berlin, China, Indonesia and Australia before completing a Diploma in Ceramics from Gymea TAFE in Sydney, Australia. She further honed her craft of Sculpture at Tom Bass Sculpture Studio, receiving several study scholarships and a teacher traineeship.

With a background in Ceramics, Healing Arts, and Community Services, Cribbin advocates support for neurodiversity, aged and disability care and in 2018 Cribbin initiated Clay Sessions, pioneering the introduction of ceramic workshops to the Wollondilly Shire. These workshops were designed to offer mindful clay therapy, intertwining art and well-being for the community's benefit. Cribbin has imparted her expertise in Ceramics and Sculpture across various renowned institutions such as Waverley Art School, Campbeltown Art Centre, and Tom Bass Sculpture Studio. Additionally, she has facilitated projects for notable entities like the Sydney Opera House, Little Orange, Headspace, VIVID, Western Sydney University, Sydenham Edge Festival, and Bellingen Camp Creative.

Cribbin has been a finalist in the Ingenuity Sculpture Festival, Blacktown Art Prize, Tom Bass Figurative Sculpture Prize, and Winner of Sculpture In The Valley, Port Hacking Potters Award and The Harvey Galleries Graduate Award.
