Artist-Vanessa Christie
We are Proud to announce a showing of the work of Vanessa Christie!San Diego Native, and graduate of UCLA. Vanessa Christie has been studying and honing her art skills since she attended an intensive visual arts program at Point Loma High School. She Studied locally in various classes such as City College, then went on to UCLA, and studied abroad at the Studio Art Center International, in Florence Italy. Fortunately for us she is currently a member of Mission Hills Artists. Vanessa stated her philosophy on art and creativity to me with the following statements: "I have heard many times that it is impossible for anyone to come up with an original idea, that all, even the most creative people do is rearrange things they are already aware of. And even if you lose track of what inspires you, it is still a part of your subconscious. Ideas for artwork, usually come to me, influenced by a combination of music, poetry, mythology, and especially by imagination and dreams." On her work she offers the following: "Forest Eye" and "Key Tree" and "Binding Ties" are examples of artwork coming out of my fascination with trees and the natural world, along with my imagination.
"Butterfly Girl" and "Woman with Peacock Feathers" are both related to my interest in the idea of masks. A mask may hide a face, but the face we present to the world is also an ever shifting mask. These paintings depict things that do not exist. Each of these paintings, represent the effort to make what I "see" visible to everyone.
Vanessa and her Art can be seen Wednesday, September 22nd from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at 890 W. Washington in the Prudential California Realty office.
