Mixed Media

As a child, Chrisanthy Gumas Vargo was always creating. She pursued her love of art at Temple University's Tyler School of Art, and received her BFA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing. In 1983, she moved to Florida and worked in the fine jewelry trade creating many unusual pieces. While homeschooling her children she explored with earthenware, creating wheel thrown vessels and clay sculptures. In 2005, Chrisanthy received a commission from the Town of Hypoluxo to create four bronze sculptures for display at their Natural Area. She has worked with Robert St Croix and other artists, lending her attention to detail to create sculptures on permanent and public display. Most notable of these is a bronze alligator she sculpted that cruises the Caribbean on the Oasis of the Seas. Currently Chrisanthy is spreading her love of art and creativity at her "real job" as a high school art teacher.
