9. Christie Perry has lived in Wilmington since 1993. She started her career in painting in 1998, has no formal training, and continues (as we all do) to learn every day. Starting out in the decorative arts, Christie has created a variety of murals, faux finishes, and painted furniture. She also began sketching homes and scenes in charcoal, and later, learning figure drawing. Perry began painting with acrylics on canvas around 2000, and this remains what she enjoys the most - layers, color, texture. Right now, she is creating large paintings, tearing paper, and doing more figure drawing. A new series of abstract paintings will be ready to show in the spring. Christie works in her home/studio at the corner of 21st Street and Metts Avenue. The studio is open to the public - call for hours, appointment, or more information
