Abouttheartist

The inspiration for All Things Painted began in 1988 when Christy started “Colors
by Christy” and made hand painted t-shirts and earrings. The venture was so
successful she was able to spend her third semester of graduate school traveling
Europe while she obtained her Masters of Architecture from Clemson University.
She continues to teach architecture and pursue her
passion of painting.

In 2002, she opened her studio space in Winnsboro. Here you will find Christy at
work on one of her many projects and creations. In October of 2005, she began to
create her “Little bits of art” as an answer to her fans that wanted little bits of her
floorcloths. Today, these paintings have become as popular as her other
creations. As she states “art doesn’t need to be so serious all the time.” These
whimsical creations were designed for you to feel the same joy that Christy has
when she creates them.

“ I believe that everything has some type of beauty and every environment
needs something that evokes a smile or laughter. Each piece that I paint is
considered a blank canvas in which I combine colors, sayings, and
patterns. It gives me great satisfaction to create works of art that is
incorporated into your normal daily living. Go ahead and use my
functional works of art that satisfies every whim; combine it with your
traditional pieces, walk on my floorcloths, or sit under one of my spinning
chandeliers- but most of all -smile while you use it!”
