Artist Bio/Statement
Tristan is a multidisciplinary artist currently based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Aside from studying Illustration at College for Creative Studies and earning an Associate of Fine Arts from Washtenaw Community College, he is self-taught. He has a passion for creating freehand ink illustrations and aims to elicit feelings of nostalgia, sentimentality and curiosity through his work. Tristan believes in teaching to be creative; challenging beliefs and embodying the habits that artists practice in order to generate complex ideas and execute them easily. “I want to connect with the world through my art in a way that spawns curiosity and makes you uncomfortable. We should always question everything.” He had work displayed in the CCS Detroit Student Exhibition in 2022 and currently has pieces in the shop at the A2AC.
