Christy is a contemporary landscape artist that utilizes elements of impressionism in her pieces. Every painting has a central area of focus that pays special attention to natural light and detail. The focal areas are expressed through the use of brilliant, vibrant colors. The exclusion of black in the gray downs produces a soft, feminine appearance. The strokes of the palette knife leave pronounced textures that add to the rich depth of each painting. These technical elements harmonize to create a feeling of openness.
