Kristi Bridgeman
Kristi Bridgeman is a Metis artist working in the traditional territories of the Lekwungen speaking people of the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the WSÁNEĆ People. Her Metis ancestors are from Red River, Manitoba, St. Albert and Jasper, Alberta.
Raised on the west coast of Canada, Kristi finds the forest and garden places of healing and meditation. The canvas ‘temple series’ arose from a sense of connectedness with the earth and our ancestors – experienced under the forest canopy. Combining under painting and glazing techniques, the artists goal is to capture a kind of visual imprint of the crisscrossed branches, the mood and light – of her sacred places.
