Christie Foreman

Born in Vancouver, BC, Christie spent her youth drawing and painting before moving to Alberta to pursue a career in health care. She always hoped to find her way back to art and then fell in love with leathercraft in her spare time, teaching herself from online resources. Christie works from her home studio in Calgary where her focus is wallets and other small items for everyday use. She enjoys the idea of connecting with someone through an object they carry through life every day. Her pieces incorporate layers of acrylic paint and heat foiling to create elegant designs often featuring botanical or whimsical images.
