Jane Christie: "Pastel painting is my
bliss"
Joseph Campbell (philosopher): "Follow
your bliss"
Unknown: "When you are in touch with
your creativity, you are in touch with your divinity"
Jane Christie has been an active artist
practically all of her life. As a child she attended art school at the Atlanta
High Museum of Art. At the University of Georgia, Jane was working toward a
Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Home Economics, but her love of
painting drew her to the art curriculum instead. Her focus shifted to attending
as many art classes as her major would allow.
Today her love affair with painting
continues. In the past three years, she has studied pastel painting under Jan
Myers, Peter Heinemann, Dennis Rhoades, Steve Tracy and Kathy Beekman.
Jane's painting "Carts Gone Bye" was
recently awarded "best of show" at the exhibit "Value Judgments, an
Exhibition", located at the Foothills Art Center, Golden, Colorado. In September
2005 at the "Arts Alive over 55" show in Conifer, CO, she received first place
in her category and an honorable mention. Jane's paintings have been accepted at
many juried shows in and around Evergreen.
