Hello! Welcome to my art website. My name is Cristina Mims, and as you may already have guessed by the premise of this website, I am an artist. While I’m relatively new in the art world at large, like many artists, I’ve been drawing and painting my whole life.
There is nothing so wonderful as making something new and beautiful. For me, that mostly takes on the form of very colorful, abstract works, though I can appreciate a good realistic drawing of an owl…I do very much love owls, and you’ll see that in my portfolio.
Like anything worth doing in life, making art for me must start with “why.” Why did Monet paint his water lilies or Debussy his Claire de Lune? Because in our core, in our souls, we long to fly, to transcend, to connect.
While I am no Monet, I want to make art to inspire and uplift those who look at it – whether it’s online, in their home, or when they walk through my doors into my home. In my opinion, art should evoke something that transports your mind or heart – it should temporarily spirit you away, whether it be to the clouds or to a road less traveled. Whether the journey ends in a new idea, a new work of art for your home, or a connection made, art is open-ended; each time we look at it, if we let ourselves, we can discover something new.
