Born in 2000 and based out of Southern California, there are several different influences at play in the eclectic multi-media art of Esther Ridsdale.

   From a young age, video games (role playing games in particular) and Y2K web design have been a major influences. Along with media influences, the beautiful views of SoCal have had a major influence as well, with biking and fishing as primary pastimes' alongside the more 'indoor pursuits' such as video editing and web development.

   None of this however can diminish the impact that formal education has had on everything that you see here, first studying under Norm Weston and joey Sellers at Saddleback College and eventually moving on to study music composition under names like Ken Walicki, Pamla Madsen, Geoffrey Munger, and Bill Cunliff at Cal state University Fullerton.
