"I think challenge, inspiration and light coincides with almost every art work I create. Since I started my canvas art while living in Charleston, SC, I often use a color palette of sunrises, sunsets and soothing coastal waters.
As a finisher artist I love to feel the paint and the colors during the process to create. I work with several different mediums, metallic pastes, plasters, paints, minerals, acrylic, oil, and with every piece I use gold, silver or copper metal leaf, which gives a natural element of light, and edge."
Crystal continues her education in wall finishes to stay current with design trends. colors and styles. This adds another dimension of interest to her works and panel art finishing.

I am thankful to be one of the working artists at the Sternberger Artist Center with other artisans, writers and creators. Until a few months ago, I had a small space to work in, with wonderful natural light. and have created many pieces since working in this space since Feb. 2018, and it was always a mess, as I had to step over paintings to get to my work area.
In October 2019 I moved into a larger Studio Space and now I have all kinds of room to create in! The funny thing is, it also allows me to make a bigger messes while I surge on with different projects and paintings.
It is an honor to be creating and doing what I so enjoy at Sternberger. The singing birds and lovely grounds are so welcoming as each day I enter the studio with adventure and a thankful heart to do what I love!
