Lisa Cristinzo (She/her) is a queer painter and installation artist and first-generation Canadian settler living in Tkaronto, on Turtle Island. Lisa’s work investigates the by-products of humanity and their mythic significance, through large-scale paintings that traverse natural history, climate hazards, materialism, and magic. Cristinzo has a BFA in drawing and painting from OCADU and is an MFA candidate at York University, graduating this Spring. Since 2007, she has managed several arts programs and community cultural hubs across the city through her work with Toronto Artscape Inc, including Artscape Gibraltar Point, an artist residency and event space on Toronto Island. She has exhibited locally and internationally since 2004. Her MFA thesis exhibition, “Stone like Fruit, Fruit like Fire” is currently on from April 25-30th, 2022 at The Gales Gallery at York University.
