Christen Yates

Christen Yates renders the emotional experience of the landscape through the use of layered oil paints creating compositions that border representation and abstraction. Incorporating pigments that are non-toxic and occasionally, locally foraged, lends a congruence to honoring the land she celebrates. Raised on the North Shore of Boston, Christen attended the University of Virginia and later completed graduate studies in theology, art & sustainable development in Vancouver, BC. Since moving back to Virginia in 2014, she has exhibited locally and in various venues from Cape Ann, MA to the San Francisco Bay area. She's held artist residencies on Vancouver Island and in the highlands of Texas. Her work has been acquired by the University of Virginia and is held in numerous private collections. Christen works out of her home studio on a small farm at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains.
