About Me

Christie: Hi, I'm April Arms and I go by Christie. I'm hard of hearing and I use American Sign Language as first language and speaking English as second language. I’m self-taught second generation artist, a wife, and a mother to my first child who is 2 years old now. I earned my Associate degree in Art at the Tyler Junior College in 2004. During my time as a student in Tyler Junior College, I have been working as a professional artist. In 2002, I started doing the Murals in TJC's (Tyler Junior College) Tutor's loft, Luby's restaurant, and painted prices on Crown car dealership vehicles' windshield. I just recently did the mural for this TJC client's little son's room. I started selling on eBay in 2005 after graduating from Tyler Junior College. So now it been 7 years and still love to be able to do what I love for a living as an artist! I have enjoyed sharing my paintings with people in local area. Now I want to experience what it likes to share my paintings in networks.
