HI,I GO BY CHRISTI,I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN IN OHIO,GREW UP AROUND WILMINTON,OHIO.I LIVED IN FLORIDA FOR AROUND 8 YEARS,LOVED IT THERE,BUT SOME HOW I ENDED UP IN INDIANA,I'M 55 YEARS OLD,I'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT 25 YEARS,BUT SOME DAY I'D LIKE TO GO BACK DOWN SOUTH.

I'VE BEEN PAINTING OFF AND ON MOST MY LIFE,I TOOK PRIVATE ART LESSONS MAYBE TWENTY YEARS AGO,FROM A WOMAN WHO WAS FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE TROPICS,SHE USED VERY BRIGHT COLORS,I THINK THATS WHERE I PICKED IT UP.FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS I'VE BEEN DOING CRAFT TOLE PAINTING FOR SOMEONE ELSE,IT PAID THE BILLS BUT IT'S SURE GOOD TO PAINT WHAT I WANT AGAIN.

I LOVE TO PAINT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING,I MOSTLY LOVE ABSRACTS,THE WAY THE COLORS FLOW AND NEVER REALY KNOWING JUST WHAT YOUR GOING TO END UP WITH,WHICH IS SOMETHING NEW TO ME.ILIKE TO COMBINE DIFFERENT STLYES,SO YOU MAY SEE ANYTHING.BUT I THINK ,THAT MY BE WHAT TRUE ART IS ALL ABOUT ANYWAY,SO HAPPY PAINTING TO ALL FELLOW ARTISTS,AND BLESS THE ONES THAT BUY OUR ART AND ALLOW US TO DO THIS,THANK YOU,CHRISTI
