The Social Easel is camaraderie, family atmosphere, learning new techniques, a beautiful spiritual connection...

“The Social Easel is camaraderie, family atmosphere, learning new techniques, a beautiful spiritual connection, and having lots of fun with Christie and friends rolled up into one beautiful teal and pink bow!

Being a tribe sister gives us all a sense of being special, like we are in the front row seats of the biggest concert in the world. And Christie is the conductor of the greatest orchestra in the world. I’m just ready for the second act with even more enthusiasm than ever!!” - Linda

Learning from Christie has been a blessing as well as a wonderful, fun-filled journey.

“Love being called a Tribe Sister by those who are compassionate, caring and helpful in many ways. Learning from Christie has been a blessing as well as a wonderful, fun-filled journey. My learning experience has been more than I ever expected when I joined over 18 months ago. I love everything about being a Tribe Sister. Thank you fellow Tribe Sisters and Christie - the best in every way known possible!” - Janet

This is the best well-rounded group I belong to and so grateful!

“Initially I joined to learn how to paint acrylic but as time went on, it has become my daily life's connection. It is the camaraderie amongst the Tribe Sisters that many days brings me support, encouragement and not only with sharing our paintings but trusting to share our personal lives, some with struggles, some funny, some accomplishments, I could go on and last but not least the spiritual connection that Christie brings with the Devotional lessons to incorporate in my daily life. This is the best well-rounded group I belong to and so grateful!” - Pauline

This group of people gives me a place of belonging and you can't put a price on that!

“The Inner Tribe is a special place for me because of the atmosphere...I feel safe here, not judged and I feel free to express myself through my art and not feel intimidated or criticized...it's my safe place.

Getting to know other sisters and admire their work, receiving words of encouragement! I'm able to paint things I never thought possible! Christie has shown me that if you have the desire to do something, you can do it if you try, and that practice makes perfect! This group of people gives me a place of belonging and you can't put a price on that!” - Bonnie

I love that Christie brings her whole self to this group.

“What brought me to this group is art. Learning, sharing, encouraging each other, cheering each other on. I stay because I love that Christie brings her whole self to this group. Her devotionals are who she is, a part that she courageously shares. Also being with like minded women who pray with and for each other.” - Linda

My painting has improved and my confidence has grown. I'm even selling some of my paintings now...

"I love it all!! I have learned so much in the last year and a half. Love, love having the tutorials. I learn something new with each one. My painting has improved and my confidence has grown. I'm even selling some of my paintings now, even though I'm attached to each and every one! I love the positiveness of the group and the devotions. Christie is so real, even when doing a live or a tutorial. She helps you to realize that even she has "happy little accidents" and it's no big deal. There is no right or wrong in so many techniques. Everyone has a unique style!! Also, I love the fact that this is a Christian group and a safe place to request prayer or just share your difficulties!!” - Trudy

Christie is a marvel, from her heart felt faith to tutorials that make sense and everything in between…

“There are many many reasons to love being a tribe member. Christie is a marvel, from her heart felt faith to tutorials that make sense and everything in between… the community is so supportive, I can't think of a better place to be.” - Suz

I will be 78 yrs young next week and I actually can paint, be creative, have fun, share with others, and be proud of what I can do.

“Wow! I discovered that when I met Christie and tried her lessons, not sure if I could afford it, but found a way and I am so indebted to God for bringing her into my life and for all that this so-called "hobby" has given me. I will be 78 yrs young next week and I actually can paint, be creative, have fun, share with others, and be proud of what I can do. I also can finish what I start with painting, not like so many hobbies I've had in my life. Above all, I appreciate the spiritual grounding from Christie's Devotionals and her honesty that allows me to look at myself and let go and let God!” - Pauline
