Keith Christie (b. 1935) came with his family from Minnesota to California as a child, and began sketching horses. His natural artistic talent and fascination with Western Americana won him a prize for his artwork when he was still a high school student. After service in the Marine Corps, Christie attended college where he turned to sculpture. Wells Fargo Bank spotted Christie's talent and purchased his first major sculpture, a stagecoach pulled by a six-horse team.
Since the success of Christie's first edition, he has steadily turned out action-oriented sculpture and oils which capture the tone and texture of Western History. His works are displayed in museums and galleries throughout the United States. |
