from the artist's original work.
Inspired by the world's myths, fables
and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen wants his work to add
up to more than a beautiful - if sometimes "curious" looking work of
art. Having taught art professionally for over 20 years, he likes to
think of the world as his classroom. His hope is that through
whatever he creates-be it a porcelain, fine art print or book-he can
convey a message, inspiration or a simple laugh. He believes that
teaching
people to use their imagination helps us find solutions to sooth the
stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep
going. In short: all things are possible when you share
Christensen's philosophy that "Believing is Seeing."
Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California.
He studied painting at Brigham Young University and,
for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before
finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then, he has had
one-man shows in the West and the Northeast and his work is prized
in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Christensen has also won all the professional art honors the World
Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention can bestow, as well as
multiple Chesley Awards from the Association of Science Fiction and
Fantasy Artists. Christensen has been designated as a “Utah Art
Treasure,” one of Utah’s Top 100 Artists by the Springville Museum
of Art and received the Governor’s Award for Art awarded by the Utah
Arts Council recognizing the significance of Christensen’s artwork
to Utah’s cultural communities. He was inducted into the U.S. Art
magazine’s Hall of Fame and is an Honored Alumnus at Brigham Young
University for his contributions to fine art and education. James
and his wife Carole, co-chair the Mormon Arts Foundation. He is a
frequent guest lecturer at Brigham Young University, and has also
given workshops to large companies and organizations on the subject
of creative thinking, including the California Art Educator’s
Association, Hallmark and Intermountain Health Care.
In addition to his fine art limited editions on paper and canvas,
Christensen’s work can be found in five acclaimed books and a series
of interactive journals, and in three dimensions in porcelain and
hand-crafted, limited-edition bronze sculptures.
