Christie comes from an abusive childhood and as an adult has had problems with depression, alcohol and drug abuse and homelessness. Three years ago she had a breakdown and had stay in a mental hospital for a week. “Centrepieces and The Big Issue have been the two biggest supports since then,†she says, “both have given me courage to keep on painting, and to continue to understand the issues in my past as well as my present life. I feel optimistic about the future, as I get so much peace and joy from painting, but Centrepieces and The Big Issue have also shown me that there is worth in what I do, and in who I am.â€
