Whatever You Do

COMMISSION FOR Llano Hospital Foundation

30x60 Acrylic with Oil Pastel on Stretched Canvas

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.

I had the pleasure of commissioning a painting from Christen as a surprise gift for my husband's 30th birthday, and I couldn't be happier with the result. From the moment I shared my idea with Christen, she understood the sentimental value behind the painting and got right into the project. The final piece she created exceeded all my expectations; it's not just a painting but a piece of art that now serves as a focal point for our home. Christen's talent, dedication, and ability to capture emotions in her art are truly remarkable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and meaningful piece of art.

Dignified was painted in the later part of 2021 as a gift to my husband.

It captures John's most treasured horse, Addi, and one of his cherished past-times - backing into the box, getting ready, giving the nod and team roping with this brother.Those moments are now adoring memories.

Christen is amazing…. There is so much I could say, but that first sentence pretty much covers it. From inception to completion, her work has been nothing short of remarkable. Thank you Christen, for making one of my best memories a permanent place in my home.

I am so happy with my painting from Christen Horner Art! I had asked Christen to recreate and paint a picture of my boyfriend taking a victory lap at the INFR. Boy did she do that AND MORE! The painting looks exactly like the picture, but with WAY more character. The original photo was very detailed, and Christen did not miss a single one on the painting. It was absolutely perfect and made for a great Christmas present. If you are looking to recreate a special moment in your life- look no further! A painting is the perfect keepsake and Christen Horner Art is the only artist I would trust to get it right. Thank you thank you, Christen! Christen is amazing…. There is so much I could say, but that first sentence pretty much covers it. From inception to completion, her work has been nothing short of remarkable. Thank you Christen, for making one of my best memories a permanent place in my home.

The mountains have always been a favorite place for our family to visit. This painting is inspired by one of our favorite trips. Christen took all of my half- complete ideas and made this beautiful piece. It has shimmer and texture and is a complete masterpiece. The artwork always starts a conversation when we have people in our home. And I am so honored she let me be her first commissioned piece.

John the Centaur

COMMISSION IN Smiley PRIVATE COLLECTION

Ghost Riders in the Sky

COMMISSION IN Reichenau PRIVATE COLLECTION

60x36 Triptych ACRYLIC ON STRETCHED CANVAS WITH TEXTURE

So here it is. One of my most cherished possessions. My 40th surprise birthday gift from my wife and co-conspired by Christen Horner. On and off for over a decade I’ve said that one day I wanted to own a painting of myself as a centaur. I wanted long flowing, majestic hair and a chiseled body (well at least the human half). I joked that I’d hang it proudly in my home for all to see. As ridiculous as the idea was, when commissioned for the job Christen took it as serious as anything she’d ever done. She spent time mapping out the details of my personal back yard for the backdrop to the portrait. And even knowing Christen personally and speaking with her on a regular basis, she never let on that any of this was happening right under my nose. So the gift was a complete surprise and one I’ll always cherish. I’ve seen Christen’s work in so many fashions, yet not one of them has been anything less than amazing. I’m proud to call this piece my own and to display it proudly in my home for all to see and enjoy.

The Keeper

COMMISSION IN Ridgeway PRIVATE COLLECTION

Ledge of Peace

COMMISSION FOR Coleman County Hospital District

24x18 ACRYLIC ON STRETCHED CANVAS

The Keeper was painted in 2022 from a submitted personal photograph as a birthday gift. This precious one is The Keeper - The Keeper of the Stars in my eyes. I've always been drawn to livestock, especially cattle, which I greatly attribute to my upbringing by my incredible parents. Being simply in the presence of cattle does something deep down in my soul. It calms me, soothes me, brightens me, hears me, sees me, allows me to be me. Painting this did just the same.

Ledge of Peace was created in 2022 for the new Coleman County Medical Center. Let yourself stand right there in the forefront of this piece and breathe in the true peace is portrays.

Deep Roots

COMMISSION IN HADDEN PRIVATE COLLECTION

30x24 ACRYLIC ON STRETCHED CANVAS WITH TEXTURE

After being completely in love with our first piece I set out for another. This one Christen had more artistic control over and she did not disappoint. The meaning of this piece is a little bit more complex and extremely personal. And walking through my house each day with the reminder it brings is such a blessing. A picture of it doesn’t even capture the detail and depth that Christen has painted.
