| ABOUT THE ARTIST |
| James Christensen |
 | |  | |  | |  |
Inspired by the world's myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen wants his
work to add up to more than a beautiful - if sometimes "curious" looking work of art. Having taught
art professionally for over 20 years, he likes to think of the world as his classroom. His hope is
that through whatever he creates-be it a porcelain, fine art print or book-he can convey a message,
inspiration or a simple laugh. He believes that teaching people to use their imagination helps us
find solutions to sooth the stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep going. In short:
all things are possible when you share Christensen's philosophy that "Believing is Seeing."
Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at
Brigham Young University and, for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before
finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then, he has had one-man shows in the West and
the Northeast and his work is prized in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe.
The artist has been commissioned by both Time/Life Books and Omni to create illustrations for
their publications and his work has appeared in the prestigious American Illustration Annual and
Japan's Outstanding American Illustrators. Christensen has also won all the professional art
honors the World Science Fiction Convention can bestow, as well as multiple Chesley Awards
from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists.
Christensen's fine art now appears as works of art in porcelain from The Greenwich Workshop®
Collection, artist-inspired products such as note cards, silk ties and several books: A Journey of
the Imagination (1994), the adventure fantasy Voyage of the Basset - adapted for television by
Hallmark's Odyssey Channel as the Voyage of the Unicorn, Rhymes & Reasons (1997), Parables
(written by Robert Millet, 1999), The Personal Illumination Series and The Personal Illumination
Journal (2000), a series of interactive journals and A Shakespeare Sketchbook (2001).
