About the Artist

Christy Gunnels, originally an Arkansan, has lived and worked on the south coast of Massachusetts for many years. She received her MFA from Bard College where she studied with Regina Granne, David Diao and Allen Cote. Her paintings result from a process that begins with looking intensely and persistently at the subject and continues to deepen with the discovery of subtleties in color and form. The reinvention and representation of the subject and how to re-purpose it creates new mysteries, understandings, and enjoyment for the viewer.
