painting from deep in the heart of llano, texas
I’m a fifth-generation Texan and come from a long line of farmers and ranchers. My roots run deep in agriculture and heritage, and I hold dear the unique history and traditions of my ancestors who came before me.
Those roots helped cultivate my inquisitive and curious sides and taught me integrity, grit, what a strong work ethic is, and how passion is grown. It has allowed me to be free to create, show love and beauty through each piece, and always strive to venture into new territory.
I paint mostly in impressionistic expressionism, but just like Texas cattle, I don’t like being fenced in. So, I dabble in almost every genre and medium. Each piece I create is honest and houses a piece of my soul somewhere in the midst.
I’m constantly in awe to be chosen to create pieces full of memories that bring joy to their collectors!!! This will never get old!
No matter your story, memory, or dream - we can make something that comes straight from your heart onto the canvas. If you have a bare wall thats just itching for a piece learn more about how we can work together.
I've been growing as an artist through commissions and murals, but I'm most excited to share the wild that's been growing inside from my upbringing and the visions the Lord guides to my paintbrushes.
Sometimes, you gotta shake it up, let your mind get outside of the fences that try to keep it in and run free … free your mind, your body, your soul
"I was fortunate to commission Christen Horner to create a custom piece for me, and I couldn’t be happier! Her professionalism, attention to detail and love for her craft were evident throughout the entire process, from initial discussions to the completed art piece. The artwork perfectly captures our vision and showcases her exceptional craftsmanship, leaving me in awe of her talent. It’s a cherished piece that holds immense sentimental value, and I couldn’t be happier."
I knew when I decided to commission a piece for my parents 50th wedding anniversary, Christen was the only choice for me . She breathes life into her masterpieces just like she breathes life into everyone that crosses her path. I have watched Christen unlock her God given talent and flourish. I’m so impressed with her work, but more importantly, moved by the spirit in which she creates each piece. To collect artwork where the artist puts so much of herself into each piece and listens to each client’s story for their vision is admirable and cherished. My family is blessed with this treasure.
Christen Horner is the absolute best at making memories come to life by her paintings. She was able to create this masterpiece from an old picture of mine from my showing days. It hangs in my living room now, and brings me so much joy to look at each day! Please check her out, and get her to create a masterpiece of your own. She's an amazingly talented artist!!
