Florida's unique wildlife and environment immediately
became the inspiration for Christi's artwork after moving to Florida in 1981.
Christi quickly became focused on the Everglades and the Keys as her subjects
range from the gentle Manatee to the majestic Florida Panther across the
awe-inspiring sawgrass of the Everglades to the romantic image of a Sailboat at
Moonlight anchorage in the Florida Keys. Christi's work is the essence of the
Everglades and Keys spirit. So much has been lost of that world. Through her
paintings, Christi is calling attention to that loss and contributing to its
restoration. |
