My name is Christa Elfstedt St.Jean and a long time ago I painted my very first oil painting. It was our favorite fishing location and in the foreground there was a bit smooth rock where we used to stand with our fishing poles. The background was the lake and the sky. A pretty simple task to do today, but I was 10 years old and my dad supplied me with paint and canvas.
After that I painted for a couple of more years, learned a lot about landscape painting from the acclaimed landscape artist Larz Friberg, who was a member of the board of Accademia Internazionale Leonardi da Vinci in Rome and Accademia Italia, Salsomaggiore. For an intensive period of time he taught me composition and the basic knowledge about colors and techniques.
Even though I do mostly digital art today, I'm still very attached to oil paint and the canvas. However, my traditional arts portfolio here includes mostly pencil drawings and watercolors.
My profession is graphic design and I am a part owner of Paperbag Designs.
I've also done photography for some years and I still enjoy it when I get a chance.
The Steampunk categories in this portfolio are some of the designs I've done during the past couple of years. Jewelery design and Steampunk modifications appeal to the creative side in me that doesn't want to deal with any rules or traditional ways of doing things.
