Christianne Msall American, b. 1969

Born in 1969, Christianne Msall has been a member of Arts of Life’s Chicago studio since 2008. Always a strong self-advocate, she’s dedicated to both her personal and professional development. Msall’s meticulous graphite and colored pencil drawings are a vibrant marriage of intuitive shapes and symbols, primarily inspired by her spirituality. Using a kaleidoscopic array of colors, she spontaneously articulates the detailed patterns and recurring motifs that appear across her work – crosses, drooping flowers, hearts, wine glasses, and candles. Recent exhibitions include Wake Me UpPantheon, and Dance Dance Dance at Circle Contemporary.

“When I look at my work, I see how happy I am, my positivity. When others look, they see how wonderful I am, that I have good ideas and good techniques. I’m very proud of myself.”
