About the Residents:
Christie Lower (She/Her) – Halfway, OR
Christie Lower is a self-taught fiber artist and educator based in Eastern Oregon. Using needle-felted wool, she creates sculptural wildlife pieces that explore memory, place, and our emotional connection to the natural world. Her work balances realism with quiet storytelling, inviting viewers to slow down and look more closely. Her practice was shaped by early motherhood and the influence of her grandmother, whose love of birds sparked Christie’s long-standing focus on avian forms. Nature, conservation, and lived experience remain central to her work.
Christie is also the founder of Rustic Fiber Academy, where she teaches needle felting to students worldwide. Through both her art and teaching, she is committed to honoring fiber as a serious, expressive, and accessible medium. She lives and works in Eastern Oregon, where landscape and wildlife continue to guide her creative practice.
