Christie Moody spent her childhood in Memphis,Tennessee, inspired and

encouraged by her mother, Marilyn Stratton, a painter. After graduating with a

BFA in Art Education at the University of Georgia, she dicovered the magic of

glass when a friend demonstrated the basics of stained glass. This was the

beginning of a long adventure with the enigmatic nature of this versitile material.

Christie taught art, including glass art, to peeople of all ages for many years.

Among her teachers were Dan Fenton, Paul Marioni, and Frank van den Ham.

Out of these experiences she has developed her own tecchniques of carving,

hotworking,fusing and slumping glass. Her imagery of the flora and fauna of the

Georgia sea islands and rivers speak of her love for these ecosystems.

This love is also reflected in her work to preserve Georgia's Broad River.

Christie creates fused and slumped glass panels, bowls, platters, "flying "

birds and insects called " Avian Whims". She works in her studio at her farm in

Northeast Georgia, where she lives with her husband Michael, son Devin and

daughter Gwyneth.
