About Christie:

Artist and Teacher Christie Close has a Studio Fine Arts education and spent most of her adult life exploring her personal artistic development. She is a native Californian from the High Sierras, attended Fresno State College with an emphasis on Sculpture at age 15. Attended Cabrillo in Aptos and College of Marin learning the classics of Fine Arts, portrait, figure, drawing, color, composition, and 3-design.

She leaned into the search for personal authenticity in her work discovering unique and innovative imagery, methods, and materials, found and handmade tools and experimental processes. All of this adds layers of meaning and story to her works and workshops.

Christie will bring her sensory based creative approach and original vision to the upcoming sculpture workshop.
