My name is Kristi Biezaite and I am a designer and artist based in Robe. I moved to Australia with my family in 2010 and have lived in Robe for more than 13 years. My primary art practice is in textile and screen printing, but I also enjoy other mediums, including illustration and photography. In my design and art I draw inspiration from both my natural surroundings and contemporary culture. I have been greatly influenced by my upbringing in Latvia, North-Eastern Europe, where craftiness and creativity, as well as the wonders of the natural world are in high regard. I hold a Bachelor of Design from the Swinburne University of Technology. Together with my partner I run Robe Town Brewery.
