Courtney Christianson

My art practice began when I was a young child, but I received my formal education from the University of Oregon Digital Arts program, where I achieved my bachelor's degree. Aside from Digital Arts classes, I also had a strong interest in sculpture and attended many classes pertaining to wood and metal working. I received additional training and experience in wood and metal working through several jobs related to those fields. I am interested in all types of media, and I am always experimenting with new and different materials to expand my knowledge and skill sets.

My goal is to combine different types of media in new and exciting ways that will engage the viewer's curiosity about their materiality. In this way I feel that my work will be ever-changing and fresh as a result of the constantly evolving nature of technology and materials. Aside from material studies I am interested in conceptual investigations of Phenomenology and Existentialism. These investigations realize themselves in many different ways and mediums throughout my artwork.
