Christy Lee Somers, Twentyninepalms, CA Member Since December 2010 Artist Statement I was always an illustrator since i was a child. Having 3 children I mainly drew cartoon characters for them. A few years ago i decided to give painting a try and i absolutely LOVE it. I recently moved to the CA Desert & it's INSPIRED me in so many different ways. My work gets "Better and Better" one after another. This Is what I should've done years ago. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoy my work.
