Jane Christie
Jane Christie has been an active artist practically all of her life. As a child she attended art school at the Atlanta High Museum of Art. At the University of Georgia, Jane was working toward a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Home Economics, but her love of painting drew her to the art curriculum instead. Her focus shifted to attending as many art classes as her major would allow. Today her love affair with painting continues. She has studied under Jan Meyers, Peter Heinemann, Dennis Rhodes, David Cuin, Steve Tracy, Kathy Beekman, Kevin Weckbach, Susiehyer, Doug Dawson, Marcia Hinds and Albert Handel.
