Lee Christiansen

I’m an older artist, still producing some paintings. Years ago I used to be able to pull images out of my head, but it’s harder now, with a lot more reliance on photos for inspiration. And though I’m retired from my business(es) I find myself very busy with lots of projects...around our house and huge gardens. I’m no longer part of a regular gallery, and hope tha Saachiart will help revive my energy...definitely worth a go’
I’ve never been a full Time artist, and never have been a prolific painter, but I love painting!
