James C. Christensen
(James C. Christensen) James Christensen is a popular American artist whose style is a mixture of the religious and the fantastic. He previously taught at Brigham Young Mormon College in Utah. He is inspired by myths, fairy tales and fables, and the hallmark of his work is a flying or swimming fish, often on a leash and symbolizing magic and wisdom, layered medieval and Renaissance clothing and hunched backs, symbolizing the burden we carry in life.
