paintings and decor for the modern home

About Me

My name is Christel and I am a professional artist from Anchorage, Alaska. I work primarily in acrylics, and I like to paint functional decorative objects as well as 2D paintings. I was born and raised in the Anchorage area, and studied art at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. I work mostly with bright colors in a bold, retro style.
