Kristi Bridgeman
Born and raised on the West Coast of Canada to a family of avid gardeners and artists, Kristi whiled away many childhood hours in the garden looking for fairies. At the ripe age of 6 years old she decided on her future path as a children’s illustrator and fine artist. Kristi attended the Emily Carr College of Art, and after a hiatus to raise her children- where she would educate herself in the evenings and work in children’s classrooms- she gained the insight and inspiration to work in her chosen field.

Making Off with The Socks by Kristi Bridgeman
The trademark amber and sepia pallet evolved after searching for earth friendly mediums: she now prefers bottled ink and quill pen, or water based paints. Whether she is working on fine art work or illustrations, Kristi loves pattern, glowing lines, and warm sentimental effects with a west coast feeling.
Love the magical colors and story in this picture, what a joy, what nice work Kristi.
