Christy Kill is an abstract painter inspired by people and nature. She is most known for her acrylic fluid paintings where every piece tells a story - a favorite landmark, remembrance of a loved one - or simply colors that reflect peace and happiness.
In the past five years, Christy has been commissioned for several dozen paintings and has sold additional works online and in her studio. She now works for an interior designer where she merges her love for interiors and art. Christy grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, has lived around the world for the last 10 years, and is currently finding inspiration in the D.C. area. She is a self-taught painter with over 20 years of practice.
Giving back is part of Christy's business model. She has donated to the Ocean Conversancy, The Fabretto Children's Foundation, HerHealthEQ, Friends of the Earth, and Pathways to Housing.
