Christa Stephens (she/her) is an autistic artist whose work explores the natural world and our intricate connection to it. Through a visual language of organic forms interwoven with geometric structure, she creates vibrant abstract paintings that blend perceptual experience with a contemplative creative process.
With a background in music and a bachelor’s degree in the field, Christa often draws inspiration from the rhythmic and harmonic patterns found in minimalist classical compositions. Her lifelong search for deeper meaning informs an artistic practice centered on transformation, interdependence, and the cyclical nature of existence.
Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Christa maintains a multifaceted creative practice and advocates strength-based narratives for herself and others on the autism spectrum. Her work has been exhibited in museums, galleries, and contemporary art centers throughout the southwestern United States.
