This page is devoted to showing the artwork of my mother, Violet
Christenson, who is herself a very competent artist. My mother
didn't
really get serious about art until I went off to college when she
started taking a few classes. She mostly does watercolor but also
oil
paintings. She has become particularly well known for her
landscapes
with old houses and barns. She has won a number of awards for her
work
and she taught a few students privately in her home until over
eighty years of age. She presently is living with Elroy
Christenson. She continues to do watercolors at the age of
91.

Vi Christenson by the staff photographer, Grand Prairie News |
1997, 21 Aug., Thursday - "Victorian section of the Grand
Prairie News featuring Vi
Christenson with color photos and a description of her goals
and
activities in watercolor and oil painting. "I've drawn all
of my live,
but I didn't really start painting until in the 1960's. ....
I started
with oils to learn the colors, because I had always worked
with pencil
and pen."
"I'm Proud of what I do. It's not fancy, but I like it," she said. "I've been really lucky to get awards. I really just enter them because I like to show by work. |
