Christa Peyton is a self-taught contemporary Texas artist known for her wildly vibrant abstract acrylic paintings.

Born in Georgia in 1971 and raised in Austin during the late 1970s and 1980s, her work is deeply influenced by a childhood spent outdoors, immersed in music, nature, and Austin’s bold creative culture.

Her paintings celebrate imperfection and the joy of discovery, offering viewers a permission slip to return to childlike wonder and intuitive play. Through expressive color, layered movement, and gestural mark-making, Peyton creates work that invites emotional connection and freedom of interpretation.

Christa Peyton lives and works in her studio in Fredericksburg, Texas.
