ABOUT THE ARTIST

Christy Becnel is passionate about art. From her vintage, 1885 home in Abita Springs, Louisiana, she creates art and teaches.  She loves sharing her knowledge with others and relishes watching her student's faces light up as they find the artist within themselves. Christy stated, "I didn't think I could be an artist when I was a child because drawing did not come naturally to me. I took my first ceramics class in my late 20's and realized I AM an artist... a 3D artist... and I want to help others realize that they are artists, too!" Christy has a natural talent for helping her students better their skills. She also has a knack for being able to get her students to become "centered" on the wheel.


Christy has also taught art (K-8th grades) for the St. Tammany School Board (sometimes as many as 800+ students per week!) and is armed with an immense measure of patience. She understands that each person learns differently and she is able to teach at every level of understanding and ability. She delights in bringing her students from a place of little knowledge to an understanding of ceramics and art.

EDUCATION

Christy began attending college for ceramics in 1997 and her passion for art grew exponentially. She earned an AA with a concentration in ceramics in May, 2012 and in December, 2014, she earned a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in sculpture from the University of New Orleans, graduating with a 4.0 gpa each time.

HER INSPIRATION

 Always with a penchant for natural, found and tattered elements, her ceramics, sculptures, photography and paintings fill the recesses of her mind and drive her to conceive.  Whether she is out in her kayak, laboring on her historic home, or meditating, her mind is always spawning new ideas. As she stated, "Creating makes me happy :)"
