About
Welcome to Starlit Studio! Han Christ is a contemporary artist based in Southern California, specializing in acrylic, oil and pastel paintings. Her work captures the interplay of light and dark, expressed through the interplay of colors, lines, and fluidity.

Han began her artistic journey at a young age, inspired by her father, a painter and classical guitarist. She immigrated from Vietnam nearly four decades ago. Amid the challenges of starting fresh in a new country, art became her sanctuary.
Han earned a degree in Art History from the UC Berkeley, where her studies deepened her understanding and passion for the arts. Following graduation, she pursued a career in corporate marketing. However, during the pandemic, after 17 years away from my easel, Han rediscovered her love for painting, and hasn’t looked back since.
Her traditional artwork explores themes of growth, transformation, and the human condition, with the goal of sparking joy and reflection. On the other hand, she has always been captivated by literature, fantasy, and darker supernatural themes. In 2007, during college, she was introduced to World of Warcraft—a universe that continues to hold a special place in her heart. Her goal is to create pieces that evoke delight and thoughtful contemplation.
Starlit Studio is a tribute to her younger self, a dreamer who found comfort under the night sky. The stars provided a sense of continuity during life’s transitions and they were a reminder to continue dreaming. She has showcase her pieces in galleries, won awards, and was even be recognized as “Best in Show.”
