"On the following pages, you'll meet artists who make their home in Arizona. Some of them are inspired directly by their surroundings, capturing the desert landscape, stunning sunsets, or mission architecture on canvas and paper. Others incorporate elements of Arizona's cultural heritage, such as its Native American, Spanish, and cowboy histories. Still others simply use the state as their home base while creating everything from bronze figures to traditional still life. There's something for every collector to enjoy among the creative diversity in Arizona" (Southwest Art, 2014, pg. 95).

"Now residing in Tucson, artist Christy Olsen's goal as a representational artist in the 21st century is to offer a mental escape for the viewer through her work in oil, pastel, or drawing that relaxes and hopefully reconnects the viewer with the simple, beautiful, and elegant moments in life" (Southwest Art, 2014, pg. 96).
