Kristi Lin
This year, Kristi Lin’s artwork has focused on change – how we cope, notice, and embrace all the changes that come our way. Catching the shifting sunlight in her transparent sculptures or painting with tea that was once alive, Kristi incorporates change as an important element of the artwork itself.
With society changing at the blink of an eye, Kristi’s detail-oriented and plant-based work encourages us to come close, pause, and reflect on our surroundings. Kristi has previously exhibited at the Japanese Friendship Garden of San Diego and designs landscapes throughout San Diego as a licensed landscape architect.
