Cristi Lyon is a multidisciplinary artist. She works in paint, glass, print, and ceramics. Her goal is to portray the material world in a direct but lush manner. She has an uncommon background in that rather than follow a degree program she undertook a self guided study of art while working in the animation industry. She spent the last years of her animation career at Dreamworks SKG, but everyone wants to hear about her time on Ren and Stimpy. She lives in Northeast Los Angeles with her family and two cats.
