I am Melba Christie, a retired educator. I have been exploring creative outlets. Now that I have time to be more creative I have kept myself busy writing poetry, designing, and blogging. The focus of my art illustrates my photography. I photograph landscapes, flowers and things that I believe inspire love, harmony and peace. Please leave your comments and also visit either Shopvida.com or Threadless.com and look for my name Melba Christie. I have artshops at both outlets.
