Dog painting by Charlotte Christner in Harrisonburg

I do art because I can’t help but doodle, sketch, paint when there’s a piece of paper, canvas, you name it near by. Doing art is and has been a life long passion of mine- my parents would tell you; I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil. If I’m not by a $50 canvas with paints I’ve been gathering for years, I’ll be sketching with a broken pencil on a sticky note. Right now I’m trying to turn my passion into a career of making pieces that continue to the bring joy I get from making a piece. I believe art is made to be shared and nothing makes me happier then a piece of my art on someone else wall.
