Kristi Beisecker is an out-of-the-box, strategic lifestyle multimedia professional that holds a portfolio of projects in graphic, written, and photographic works. She is a skilled production artist delivering production arts on time, meticulously and accurately, and promptly producing written materials at 70-75 wpm. Having a background in academic research, she has contributed research to the Rong
oRongo tribe and other Indus scripts; documenting her findings on a blog which had over 40,000 views of all time in 2 years. Her involvement in research of ancient writing methods has inspired Kristi’s love for science as they conveyed scientific knowledge. Through her artistic practice, she obtained fiscal sponsorship from the Institute for Education, Research and Scholarship, an award-winning California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity organization. After exhibiting her award-winning, black and white ‘kirlian photography,' and being on the road for 3.5 years averaging 10-12 shows a year, she documented her experiences on a blog; “Mediumistic” which provided insight on her projects and day-to-day life. This blog inspired and taught her social media biz and amplified her pre-existing knowledge of multimedia. At the roots, however, Kristi is a graphic designer and production artist, who honed her skills through working at a local print shop, Deluxe Corporation, and Yankee Candle. As an independent designer, she’s worked with global lifestyle brands in home decor, design, fashion, bridal, travel and health, and fitness. Before her professional career, Kristi taught herself HTML and CSS, coded websites and sold handmade jewelry on Geocities.com (1994 -2009) and worked for a local bead shop. As an artist, Kristi envisions a world where it is possible to visually capture subtle energy that makes up our physical reality. Kristi has divided this energy into light (photo), sound (vibration) and form (material) and strives to capture its’ existence through an artistic lens by utilizing photographic processing. Through her artistic practice, Kristi has begun to identify and fine-tune her scientific method through working with several scientific advisors. She has partnered with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center on outreach and marketing through her art and planned to attend MDI Biological Laboratory as a student in spring 2018. Her most recent body of work, Kirlian photography - “electrography” - has won several international awards - Award of Excellence through VSA in the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, IPA Honorable Mention and Under25 through the Arte Laguna Prize. As well as taking her abroad to Ottawa, Canada and Greve in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy on residency producing images on-location.
