Christina Dowdy is a Charlotte based artist with tremendous talent who “celebrates color and form without clutter”, maybe this is why I am so drawn to her work. She works largely on commission pieces . Her clients come to her with vacation photos, ideas for still lifes, their children on the beach, whatever they want her to paint.
She is drawn to simpler compositions and uses old techniques of layering and glazing to build up vibrant color on the canvas.
Recently she has been expanding her work into portraits. Her work is very well priced, and for a 16″ x 20″ portrait the cost generally runs about $400.
I recently spent some time with her in her light filled studio. She works from her home and choses to represent herself. Her work is available in a range of sizes.
To see her outstanding portfolio please visit her website Christina Dowdy Fine Art.

Christina’s work is lovely!
Love your blog and work! Found it through a comment you left on Urban Grace. I’m an interior designer too! I’ve mainly worked in commercial, but am thinking of trying to get into residential on my own:)
Beautiful! So glad for the introduction to this Charlotte gem!
Those sail boats how beautiful and calm that painting is. I also really like her fruits. Will put her in our fill for clients that what portraits of family. Loved her wall of art in her home studio. Thank you
I love how she “celebrates color and form without clutter”. It’s very similair to your decorating style. Thank you for writing about Christina Dowdy.
Lovely, her art is inspiring. Tomorrow I will post a work of art and a tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Laura, Her work is beautiful. The softness of her paintings and the way she handles light are just lovely – soft and soothing.Thanks so much for sharing her with us!
Laura,
You described it so well, calm and free of clutter. I love the simplicity.
I love to see other artist’s do what they love and do it independently.

I love the open feel and the “lightness” of her seaside paintings. Beautiful.
