Regina Christie
“I’m seeking to find and express my personal freedom through painting abstract color fields. I use rich colors that reflect this. Sometimes images emerge and recede; they seem to come from that intuitive part of myself. I like to open up a chance for the viewer to shift from thinking to connecting to their own inner being.”
