Hi, I’m Kristi! I’m a creative alchemist who works with words, images, music, movement, and love. My creations explore big questions, like what makes us human, how can we maintain hope in the face of darkness, and where we draw inspiration and strength from when things seem bleak. I seek to illuminate what’s beautiful, powerful, magical, and majestic about this life and alchemize darkness into light, pain into joy.
