Welcome to my art
pro-folio, simply a place to share my thoughts and creativity. I would like to
start by saying a little about myself-
I began to grow into a
higher state of consciousness at a young age. Art has been my companion
throughout my transformation and continues to be as I grow in the redwoods of Northern California and travel the world. As a child I drew whatever
I could of animals and my family – I even recreated some of my favorite fairy
tales.
I attribute my
inspiration to create art to my grandmother. She drew, embroidered, wood carved
and even painted war planes during WWII. As I grew into my teens, I found
myself drawn to the works of Vincent VanGogh, Berthe Morisot and Alphonse
Mucha. From these artists I attribute my fondness of extreme color palettes and
unique line and stroke. As of late I have been drawn to the contemporary
artists Amy Brown, Sylvia Gi, Autumn Skye Morrison, Inka Eissenheim and Michael
Page. They have influenced me stylistically and color chromatically.
Art has always been my
way to channel energy and harness my dreams. My intent as an artist when I
create is to simply communicate , whether it be by displaying content in my art
that shares my feelings on a current environmental issue, an element of the
human condition, or merely my own emotions.
Presently my mediums of
choice consist of oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, and pen and ink.
"The beauty of life
is to experience yourself," and my favorite way of doing so is to witness
the beautiful artistic energy of another and its effect on the viewer. My
name is Christa Lynn Whittington, I am an artist, a dreamer and a lover of this
journey called life. I hope you enjoy life’s beauty to its fullest as I share my
life’s moments with you.
