4/7/2009 - Meet Christiana Fan, of Christiana's Designs, our newest artist.
Christiana loves to design and paint. "I find inspiration anywhere--the coffee house, nature, the backyard, different cities, and even from daydreaming...And yet, I think my most important inspiration is the unconditional love from my pets," says Christiana, a Southern California artist. Working as a designer/illustrator, she enjoys bridging the world of graphic design and fine art. "Working as a designer/illustrator, is one of the most creative and expressive jobs I can imagine." Christiana's Designs are detailed and decorative; she also produces graphic patterns, with a feminine flair; her themes show a love of nature and pets.
