Growing up with an artist mother, I occasionally experimented with painting in the basement of my childhood home or later in a side corner of a studio apartment. For years, I used art as a catharsis from my left-brained career. After a sudden, recent health crisis, I started honing my oil painting skills, while bed ridden for nearly a year. Thankfully, I have rediscovered the paint brush and gained new focus and intention with my art. I am captivated by majestic skies, clouds, and horizons and many of those memories are featured in my abstract landscape pieces. It is my belief that we must remain positive no matter what life hands us, and, as a result, the depth and color that takes shape on my canvases depicts the intention of finding frequent moments of gratitude, resilience, and beauty.
Christiane Palpant's piece, "The Journey Aglow"  will be featured on The New York Foundling x City Winery exclusive summer rose, entitled "We are Intertwined." Purchasable through June, 2022 here.Â
