DEE CHRISTIE
|
I am Dee Christie. a lifelong learner, art educator, artist & Vermonter. I find my passion in things that are close to my heart, which have included teaching High School Art at Bellows Free Academy for the past 35 years, creating my own art, my family (2 legged and 4 legged), my friends, the lake and anything outdoors. I love combining text and images and have found my visual voice in the merging of the two. I start with old books that are being thrown out, and I create each page as its own canvas, where I paint, collage and add text to create my images. I then take these original pieces of art and turn them into prints and cards. This past June (2024) I finished teaching, and have found the time to paint more, although I still love using text in my work. I am in a constant search for new ideas, media and I love to challenge myself with finding new ways to express myself with my visual art.
I am a member of AIR, MAG, Seaba, S.P.A.C.E gallery, and am on the board for 802ARTshouse. I have work at Rail City Market St. Albans, Artist In Residence, Milton Artist Guild, 30 Odd (Burlington), Rock Art Brewery, (Morristown), & Hey!June (Richmond) |
