Lynn Kristmanson

Lynn has been involved in the arts all her life. From early beginnings as an actor, she moved into the visual arts, earning degrees with distinction in both studio art and art history. As well as creating a line of textile products, she brought her skills as a textile artist to the wardrobe departments of Stratford, Banff Centre, the world of feature film, and her position as a college instructor in surface design. After moving to Newfoundland, she immersed herself in the filmmaking community and stared to write, direct and produce her own short films. Her film Rescue Wife played in local and international festivals and her latest film, Secret Santa is a stop motion apocalyptic comedy. She has continued to paint silk and canvas and work as a freelance designer and is presently collaborating on a feature film and is developing a project with the department of psychology in a Canadian university.
