Visual Art – Portland

Growing up in Redmond Oregon, with not much else to do, Kali Riste started drawing. What started as a hobby to pass the time, turned into a necessary part of the day and a fixture for her life to pivot on. It seemed only appropriate that she attend any art related events going on in the general radius of her little town and that, after graduating high school, she attend Vancouver Film School and study Concept Art. Now with a diploma burning a proverbial hole in her pocket, Kali has taken to the streets, taking any art-based jobs so that she can work towards the only career that ever made any sense having. She enjoys painting detailed concept illustrations, creating funny (but usually less funny than hoped) comics, drafting characters and environments, and ultimately, helping other excited people get even more excited about their ideas.
