Artwork by Steve Christie
Most of us think of Steve Christie as the Bills’ placekicker known for kicking clutch field goals. But did you know that Christie is a talented artist? We have three pieces of his. Two smaller works featuring a figure in silhouette and a man in a trench coat (to go with our spy theme!). These are limited edition signed offset lithographs of two of Steve's paintings. The larger piece is a painting in acrylic of a fabulous sunset with a boat and plane. This piece is highly textured and full of vibrant colors. It is signed “Christie” in the lower right hand corner. Just to remind you of where these artworks came from, we have two signed photos of Steve Christie that he sent to accompany the artwork.
