Christensen.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana, geneva\" size=\"4\" color=\"#9CF2BD\">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.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana, geneva\" size=\"4\" color=\"#9CF2BD\">Inspired by the world&#8217;s myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen wants his work to add up to more than a beautiful &#8211; if sometimes &#8220;curious&#8221; 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&#8217;s philosophy that &#8220;Believing is Seeing.&#8221;<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.swoyersart.com\/jameschristensen.htm\"><font face=\"verdana, geneva\" size=\"4\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>http:\/\/www.swoyersart.com\/jameschristensen.htm<\/strong><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>It is titled &#8220;Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses&#8221;.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#ffff00\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/miscellaneous\/7940530f.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><span> <\/span><br \/>\n<span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Looking forward to see what this artwork<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> inspires your muse with.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Please click the heart above if you enjoy this blog.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> It would also be great if you spread the word<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> and told a friend. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Thanking you in advance&#8230;love, light and many blessings!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><span> <\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/hearts\/Hugsheartrose.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspired by the world&#8217;s myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C.
