Christiane Palpant

Fine art painting runs through the roots on both sides of my family tree.  During my personal journey, I had mostly experimented with art as a catharsis from my left-brained, high intensity career.  Everything quickly changed, after I was struck by an extensive health crisis, and I started honing my oil painting skills as a vital part of my healing journey.  After rediscovering the paint brush, my own metamorphosis surprised even me. 

Majestic skies, clouds, and horizons have always captivated me and many of those memories are featured in my abstract landscape paintings.  For example, my piece titled The Journey Aglow was featured on The New York Foundling x City Winery exclusive 2022 summer rosé, titled "We are Intertwined."  My love of capturing the horizon, morphed into a vision of painting the sunrise in all 50 states.  Once I started envisioning that dream, I bought a van, a rolling studio on wheels named Millicent. The 50-state tour quest is in full swing.  After a year on the road, the goal is already halfway complete, and I will aim to finish capturing all 50 states by year’s end.  Who knows, I might start a second time around! 

It is my belief that we must remain positive and curious no matter what life hands us, and, as a result, the depth and color that takes shape on my canvases depicts the intention of finding frequent moments of gratitude, resilience, and beauty…whether at the studio or on the road.
