About the Artist<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christie\u2019s artistic journey began at 15, when a Steven Tyler performance on the Midnight Special sparked her passion for drawing and a belief in \u201cbeing who you are.\u201d Her first portrait\u2014of Tyler\u2014confirmed her creative gift, nurtured by her mother and supportive teachers. Today, she draws inspiration from her children and grandchildren, sketching each of them, and creating landscapes that reflect her gratitude for the beauty of the natural world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
