Christie Olson - Sads and Seltzer (mixed media, 8 " x 10", 2020)
Photography has always been the outcast in the art scene, so has Christie. Abstract art is messy and confusing, so is Christie. When creating her mixed media pieces, Christie uses past trauma, combined with paint and photography to heal her wounds. Christie has always been drawn to abstract art because it can mean nothing, or it can mean everything. An artist’s intent might not always be communicated to their audience with their work, however, each viewer can take from it what they need.
