Chrysti Hydeck

"Chrysti (Christy Hydeck) is an emerging mixed media artist whose work is collected by individuals and companies across the globe. Her quirky, one-of-a-kind art has been featured in calendars, books, galleries, coffee houses, retail stores and advertisements as well as being published in both print and digital magazines. In 2004, she chose to pursue her life long dream of creating full-time. With this satisfaction came the realization that this was only the beginning and not the culmination of her creative vision."

"Considered an outsider artist, Chrysti lives with Bipolar Disorder, and Tourette's Syndrome. Her work is often very personal, expressing her passion for children, family and animals as well as showing her love of whimsy, words and all things odd.

In addition, Chrysti teaches mixed-media workshops and is a contributor to Cloth, Paper, Scissors magazine. She has established and maintains several online stores and communities. She is also a promising amateur photographer.

It is Chrysti's belief, that everyone has an artist within. It is her mission, to help inspire others find and express their own creative selves."

I create lenses on people/topics which make me think or those I happen to find awe inspiring... Chrysti is one of those people.. She and I have never met, except in a social network which we are both a part of.

All original artwork, photographs or images on this particular lense belong to Chrysti, as does the text in quotation marks, unless otherwise noted.
