This week we speak with long time friend Christi Bertelsen.
Christi is a multidisciplinary artist: Director, Art Director, Animator, Storyboarder, Compositor, Editor, and Educator are the ways she earns a living. Her award-winning films have been screened in several countries, aired on PBS, and featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Embracing her perspective as Native (Navajo and Cherokee), woman, queer, an animator, and a Xennial, Christi's art is often a playful exploration of experiences, daydreams, heartbreak, and absurdity. She shares joy in her creative shenanigans, immersing her work with unexpectedness, charm, and striking visuals. Her love for music inspires and enriches her projects, as well as utilizing various techniques and mediums such as digital art, photography, pixels, spray paint, cut-outs, toys, etc.
As an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts, she shares her knowledge and enthusiasm with aspiring animators. Christi is also pursuing a Master's degree in Directing Film, furthering her passion for storytelling through cinema.
With an unwavering dedication to authenticity and a DIY spirit, Christi's art aims to forge connections with humans through its simplistic charm and soul-baring humility.
