ABOUT THE ARTIST
|
Christie loves to capture moments in watercolor. Whether an old barn, a beloved family pet, fishermen on a pier or children on the beach, she believes there is a personal story to be told through color, motion and character.
When she paints, she loves a big, water-filled brush and works to create an abstract, fresh feel in her work. The simple look of an eye, a wag of a tail or even just a full, color-filled brush stroke can showcase the narrative of a piece and hopefully entice the viewer to return for another look. And if one looks very closely, they will also find a surprise bit of whimsy in each of her paintings. As part of her signature, she hides a paintbrush in every piece! Christie has painted throughout Virginia and the Outer Banks and has buyers from Boston to South Carolina. She is also a former instructor with the Midlothian Art Academy in Richmond, Virginia and is currently offering zoom watercolor classes online. Email Christie for more details. |
