January Meeting: Thank You Artist Dan Christ

January 2, 2022 by lehighvalsci Leave a Comment


Thank you Dan Christ. His artwork is on display every year and he is a regular donor to our chapter auction.
Dan was our guest speaker at this exciting and informative dinner.

Dan Christ has been portraying God’s creation through art for forty-three years. His forestry education has trained his eye to observe the details of habitat and gives him the understanding of the web of life each habitat involves. His paintings of wildlife generally are inspired by the setting or habitat which become the basis for the painting. Generally, more creative thought is put into portraying the habitat in the painting than the actual animal portrait.

Since a teenager he has spent much time afield pursuing game. His hunting experiences have been a major source of his inspirations so the real trophies on his walls are paintings of ones that got away.

He carries a camera while hunting and captures the inspiration, photographing the setting of the experience into which he can paint his trophy.

Painting elk, his favorite subject, began in college when his US Forest Service career introduced him to the high Rockies of Colorado. Since then, the elk habitat that he has hunted from New Mexico to Montana have been his inspirations for many a painting.

Painting experiences give each one a story. Whether it is from Alaska, South Africa or the backyard, a story waits to be told. One of his most recent experiences has been a trip to Antarctica. Just a glimpse of this lost continent has inspired him to create 8 paintings. It has been an eye opener to the unique world we live in – God’s Creation story and the amazing creatures that live here.

Kyler, age 11, from Mississippi showcases one of the many amberjacks he boated on his recent Catch-A-Dream Adventure. Kyler wants to be a charter captain one day, and that aspiration was only magnified by his exposure to Capt. Tom and First Mate Trisha with Charter Fishing Venice with TNT Fishing Charters. He also caught a GOLIATH grouper, highlighting a day that included numerous other Gulf of Mexico fish species. Volunteer Host Mark McNealy, from New Jersey, helped the family capture what they described as “…so many big and small moments that reminded us how much God is still in this story.”
