Tim Christie is a designer and artist currently based in Wellington New Zealand.His innovative, fashion-forward artistic style has been described as a modern synthesis of op art, pop art, street art and geometric expressionism. Over the last two years he has extended his collection to include light boxes, large original acrylic paintings and illuminated weavings, enjoying playing with the space or ‘void’ between abstract and representational art. Tim shares his inspirational story from graphic designer to successful artist and some of the stories in between! He talks about how he first came up with the idea for digital artworks while holidaying in Scotland, how he gained momentum early on with sell out shows and a huge amount of interest from collectors, how he came to exhibit internationally and how he now manages a very busy art practice and artistic business.Tim unpacks his varied digital and painting art practice and shares his fascinating creative process. He talks about another of his artistic ventures this time with his wife Katie, Yogallery - a hybrid world of art and yoga contained in a large light filled space in central Wellington.  https://www.creativematters.co.nz/post/creative-matters-with-tim-christieSupport the showNgā mihi, thanks for listening!You can support the show with a small monthly donation https://www.buzzsprout.com/1713946/supportLearn more about the podcasthttps://www.creativematters.co.nz/podcast You can follow us for updates on https://www.instagram.com/creativematterspodcast/ Please rate and review our show to help others find us https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/creative-matters/id1561034043
