Meet the Artist
Elkpen is Christian Kasperkovitz, a Los Angeles artist who has been making art about the environment for over 25 years. She creates large scale wall drawings, murals, comics, and signs about place. Her work affirms that our natural environs are indispensable to our well being, we are part of nature and nature is part of us. Public art, community engagement, and activism are intertwined in her practice. Born in Los Angeles in 1968, she grew up between Nova Scotia, Canada and New York City. She received a BA with distinction in Anthropology from McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1991. She returned to LA in 2005 and lives in Tujunga with her husband.
