In December 2024, New City Arts will present an exhibition of work by Christen Yates and Jacqui Stewart Lindstrom.
This exhibit will feature wood sculptural work (Jacqui Stewart Lindstrom) and abstract landscape paintings (Christen Yates). Incorporating materials from thoughtfully harvested sources, this exhibit will demonstrate how, when we put our hands to the wood and dirt of this earth, we are reconnecting ourselves to one another and our common source.

Raised on the North Shore of Boston, Christen Yates attended the University of Virginia and later completed graduate studies in theology, art & sustainable development in Vancouver, BC. Since moving back to Central Virginia in 2014, she has exhibited both locally and in various venues from Cape Ann, MA to the San Francisco Bay area. She's held artist residencies on Vancouver Island and in the highlands of Texas and her work has been acquired by the University of Virginia’s School of Commerce. Christen works out of her home studio on a small farm at the foot of the Blue Ridge mountains.
