Biography

Crista Goble Bromley is an award-winning artist and a jewelry maker from the Texas Hill Country.  She paints primarily in oils but is also accomplished in watercolor, acrylic and pastels.   As a descendant of noted artists and musicians she was surrounded by art and music since birth.  She studied fine arts at a major Texas university. While much of her early career focused on portraiture her interests expanded over the years and her subjects also include landscapes, animal portraiture, still life and historical representation.  Most of her paintings are traditional to realism with a nod toward the highly detailed work of hyper-realism.  According to Bromley, portraiture still holds a special place in her heart, noting, “I strive to make my portraits more than just a reflection of the person or animal.  I want to see the character of the subject in the artwork.  Whether it is a person or an animal I want their personality to shine through.  That is the real satisfaction in portraiture.”   While she loves portraiture she also enjoys the challenges of other subject matter as well.  “I love to take a blank canvas and watch something grow on it. The process seems to have a life of its own,” she says.
