Christie Younger

“An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success.” Henri Matisse

“My art, I hope, coveys the dichotomy between perfection’s existence despite very obvious imperfection and illuminates the frail and fickle nature of our definitions of perfection. I hope the viewer will see something beautiful initially. Yet upon further investigation, I hope they find unhindered blemishes and a messy situation as they get to know my art better.” Christie finds the most freedom of expression through various subject matter but is most known for her floral still lifes, abstracts, and landscapes. She lives and works in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
