Art Speaks Where Words Cannot.
About Christa
Christa Collins (b. 1996, Nashville, TN) is an emerging Atlanta-based artist working in painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Her practice explores presence, memory, and the emotional and spiritual landscapes beneath the surface.
Rooted in Abstract Expressionism, Collins blends gesture, spontaneity, and the subconscious to develop a personal language of emotion and spirit. Her process is instinctive and materially engaged, emphasizing fluidity, imperfection, and tactile exploration of layered textures and surfaces.
Known for her rich, earthy palette, layered textures, and structural forms, she embraces construction and deconstruction as a language of transformation—creating dynamic, geometric motifs and meditative compositions that reflect introspection, interiority, and connection to the unseen.
A self-taught artist with a background in fashion and music, Collins’ work is shaped by rhythm, intuition, and ongoing spiritual seeking, inviting viewers to slow down and engage with their inner worlds.
Her work has been exhibited at Zeitgeist Gallery (Nashville, TN), Alday Hunken Gallery, and Kai Lin Gallery (Atlanta, GA), and is included in private collections such as the Bankers Alley Hotel (Nashville, TN). In 2024, she was awarded Critic’s Pick by Creative Loafing and featured in Gulch Magazine (Vol. 1). Collins also participated in the 2025 Atlanta Art Fair.
