Living along the Pacific Coast for over 20 years evokes a deep tranquil connection that drives Christy to capture that feeling forever in her artwork. Her process begins with a subtle calm color palette, then deciding whether or not to add texture with recycled odds and ends, or paper, clay, netting, fabrics,  and\/or acrylic mediums. The subject is decided upon with either an intuitive evolution or one in which it is planned from a memory, photo, or commissioned.
