Hi, I'm Christina Ivelisse Morris. I create dreamy visuals and environments using 3D modeling programs, neon lights, and occasionally sound. 

 

My work has been shown in Chicago, New York and South Korea where I have also given artist talks, amongst other places. I've earned a Bachelor of Arts in Art, Media and Design from DePaul University in Chicago. I consider myself  a new media artist and true Chicago native. 

Although I was trained formally in fine arts, I'm entirely self-studied in 3D modeling and one of few women of color in that field. I use CGI to build my own world and give life to memories and things I've really experienced.

About Christina - Christina Ivelisse Morris Profile Picture at Gyeongbokgung Palace

Originally a fine artist working with light-based installations - I'm creating a bridge between CGI/3D art, and physical pieces and environments that exist in the real world. Nostalgia and color are important elements to my work. My goal is to bring back the vividness in which we felt everything in our earliest years and to shift perspectives on life.
