Calixtra Elvira Bouchard is a young emerging artist from Eldred, Minnesota, with a growing passion for photography and digital media. At just eleven years old, Cali brings curiosity, creativity, and a strong sense of family and community pride to her artistic journey. Named after both her great-grandmother and a lineage of strong women before her, Cali carries with her a deep sense of heritage and identity.

Born in Crookston, Minnesota, Cali discovered her love for art early on—particularly during her time in elementary school, where art quickly became her favorite subject. Her involvement with Studio 110 in Crookston has allowed her to explore her interests further, especially in photography and visual storytelling. Whether assisting with Digital Kids workshops or helping during Free Family Photo sessions, Cali enjoys being part of a creative community that values learning and sharing.

She is currently developing her editing skills and dreams of one day creating her own movies, using film as a way to tell meaningful stories from her perspective and experiences.
