Sas Christian
A British-born artist hailing from London, currently calls Schenectady, NY, home. Having spent three decades in Florida, she eventually found herself drawn to the vibrant art scene of upstate New York. Her artistic journey began at a boarding school in England, where she nurtured her passion for visual expression. Subsequently, she honed her craft at Bournemouth Art College in the UK.

Her artistic footprint extends nationally and internationally, with exhibitions held in London, France, Italy, and Hong Kong. Notably, her work has graced the walls of The Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. Christian's oeuvre is often classified as Pop Surrealism or New Contemporary, reflecting her ability to infuse modernity into classical techniques.
Christian works primarily with oils on canvas and pencil on paper, mastering these traditional mediums to breathe life into her imaginative visions. Additionally, she offers limited edition Giclees, allowing enthusiasts to bring her captivating creations into their personal spaces.
