Acrylic painter Christy Wilkins resides in Atascadero with her husband and three kids. She is predominantly a self taught artist.
The ocean has a presence in a large portion of her pieces. As a child living in Moss Beach, CA, some of her first memories were formed at the beach - exploring the spectacular tide pools, hiking the majestic cypress forested cliffs and entranced by the waves crashing on the shore.
Her acrylic paintings are whimsical, often incorporating an abundance of vibrant colors, movement and emotion. Her artistic inspiration often comes from her imagination as well as the world around her.
"It excites me to try and get my perspective of the world across to others with the simple tools of paint and a brush."
