Cristi Lyon is a Los Angeles based multidisciplinary artist. She works in paint, glass, print, and ceramics.. She has an uncommon background in that she had a career in the animation industry. She spent the last four years of her animation career at Dreamworks SKG, but everyone wants to hear about her time on Ren and Stimpy or Ralph Bakshi’s Cool World. Rather than follow a degree program she undertook a self guided study of art. Among the institutions she has attended are Otis Parsons, Art Center, San Francisco State, and Pasadena City College. She was granted the Jeanne Ward Foundation award for excellence in ceramics while at PCC, where she also studied with Keiko Fukazawa, Claire Anna Baker, Emily Sudd and James Morphesis. Cristi also attended an invitational workshop at Pilchuck glass school. She lives in Northeast Los Angeles with her family and two cats.

She is represented by Curina.
