My name is Christina Weese and Foxtail Studio is my creative playground. I have a three-year Visual Communications diploma from Medicine Hat College and a Bachelor of Design from the University of Alberta. I’ve worked in both design studio and corporate marketing settings; right now I work mostly for my own clients and myself. Equestrian sports (which sounds glamorous but involves an inordinate amount of poop shoveling) consume most of my non-design time.

So that’s the factual stuff. As for the rest of it…

I love hearing people describe their creative process – writers, musicians, visual artists, financiers, parents. There is some meta-process to creativity that supersedes any medium. I like to think about stories as well – the stories we tell about ourselves, and the stories we tell about others. I think living on the prairies also has an influence on a person; it’s a great blank canvas and you can watch your thoughts run away for three or four days if you want to…

PS – I found this on the Wishful Thinking blog and promptly thieved it. It’s Charles Hamilton at the 2010 Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in Ottawa, and probably the best description of Saskatoon that you’ll ever come across.
