Artist: Georgia Christensen
Georgia Christensen is an artist whose vision has been expressed through painting, ceramics,
and design.
At an early age, she developed a discerning sense for light, shadow, simplicity, shape and
continuity. Some, of which, had to do with living under the big Texas sky as well as her
father’s profession as an architect. She found painting to be an innate love that allowed her to
translate, manipulate and explore these perceptions in a graphic way.
Throughout her twenty-five year career of shaping images and brands, she exercised these
same skills on a commercial level, while practicing her art privately. Georgia’s work in
advertising has garnered numerous awards and changed the landscape in retail marketing with
the introduction of The Art of Fashion and The Book, for Neiman Marcus – a magazine
designed to feature the work of artists such as Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Annie
Leibovitz and Geof Kern among many others. In 1998, Time magazine recognized The Art of
Fashion as one of the top ten campaigns of the year.
Georgia is retired and pursuing painting and ceramics full time. She and her husband, Chris, a
photographer, live in Edom, Texas and have two children, Lizzy, an apparel designer working
and living in New York City and William, a Cinematographer in Los Angeles.
