About Kristy Christopherson: I am a self taught artist who has lived in Southern California my whole life. My interest in art started when I was a young child, and able to hold a crayon. As a child my mom would take me with her to her oil painting group and I would paint. Later in life I got back into doing artwork and just played and experimented with a variety of mediums. At the advice of a fellow artist and good friend, I began entering art shows in 2007.








So many different forms of expressions- I really like them all! I so get the part about needing mixed media, or art in any form to keep your sanity…
