About the Artist

Christi Santora is a painter based in Chesterfield, New Jersey, working primarily in acrylic on canvas. Her work explores themes of serenity, beauty, and connection to the natural world, often featuring trees, florals, water, and open skies. Inspired by impressionism and guided by intuition, Christi lets color and texture lead the way in her creative process.

After taking art classes early in college, Christi pursued a different path, earning a B.A. in Psychology from Virginia Tech and an M.A. and Ed.S in School Psychology from Radford University. Years later—and now a mother of two—she has rediscovered her love of painting as a deeply personal journey of creative growth and self-discovery. Working from her kitchen table, Christi is embracing her evolving identity as an artist and the joy of making art simply for the love of it.

Still early in her artistic path, Christi’s work reflects a return to what feels essential: beauty, presence, and the freedom to create. This is just the beginning.
