About the Artist: R. R. Christensen, born 1996, was raised in Rio Rancho, New Mexico before attending Brigham Young University to study fine art. Since graduating in 2019 she has studied under master artists Patricia McMahon Rice, Susan Lyon, and Casey Childs. A strong proponent of representational realism, Christensen's artwork is influenced by Cecilia Beaux, John Singer Sargent, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and the French Impressionists and she strives to employ classical techniques to capture the beauty of the people and places around her. When not painting she can be found trying to befriend the neighborhood cats.
