Acrylic and texture medium on cradled wood panel

Artist Statement:
“I selected a Calico Critter because I love their rounded features and overall whimsy, and I suspect they were a very early influence on my art style. When I had my own kids, I bought them plenty of Calico Critters (this was probably more about me than my children). I occasionally left my well-loved toys in gardens and driveways, as did my kids, so I placed this critter outdoors for the night.”
Christy is a multidisciplinary teaching artist, painter, and photographer whose work is held in numerous private collections across Western New York and beyond. Her creative practice utilizes surreal and nostalgic imagery to investigate the duality of the female experience. By exploring the often-intersecting lines between the lovely and the unsettling, her work offers a visceral reflection on the complexities of womanhood and girlhood.
