Christy Kill is an abstract painter, inspired by nature as well as her client's stories and interiors. She grew up in the South, and for the past 12 years has has lived around the world - currently finding inspiration in the D.C. area. Her paintings are wispy and bold, and bring happiness with their expressionist style. Christy works primarily with acrylic and resin, offering a high-gloss finish. She also creates heavily textured abstracts in oil. She also enjoys designing digitally - wallpaper and other home decor items can be found in her shop.
Christy has exhibited at the Mclean Project for the Arts, Gallery Underground, the Arlington County Board office, and the Arlington Central Library. A pair of her paintings “On the Shores of Iceland” were featured on a slideshow during ArtBasel Miami in December 2017, and are now on permanent display at the Iceland Ocean Cluster in Reykjavík, Iceland. She has given proceeds and paintings to several NGO’s and charities that better serve children and the environment. She is currently working on a commission for a home in McLean, Virginia and is preparing for her upcoming international move.
