Christy Titus is an American artist best known for her layered images that employ both drawing and photography to reconstruct landscapes and ecosystems that are at risk of disappearing. Her work deals with the relationship between that which is lost and that which remains, while exploring the ghostly presence of human activity in relation to memory and place.

Her various site-specific installations, environments and drawings blur the boundaries between documentary and fiction, archive and narrative. The gaps, layers, and juxtapositions within her images piece together fragile landscapes and ephemeral moments. Each project involves extensive field work on location: mapping landscapes, documenting the environment, collecting found objects and researching the history and present day community that exists there. These notes act as the raw material from which she reconstructs these landscapes and stories in her studio. Each work weaves the gathered images together into visual story form, in order to bring new interpretations to life.

Most recently, she has focused on human impact to the fragile, ephemeral ecosystems of wetlands. Growing up in the countryside of Northwest, Ohio, the site of The Great Black Swamp, she became acutely aware of the plants, animals and insects this ecosystem held. The continued efforts to drain these waters have shaped her interest in creating art that sheds light on the beauty and importance of wetlands and which advocates for their continued existence.

Christy has a passion for adventure and exploring the outdoors. She has hiked and camped extensively throughout the United States and Europe, traveled around India and Nepal, and backpacked through the Scottish Highlands and the Rocky Mountains. She feels most at home in remote regions surrounded by water and actively seeks out destinations near the ocean, sea, rivers and lakes and swamps.

Titus holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Universite Paris 1 Pantheon Sorbonne (2019) and a Bachelor of Arts in visual communications from Boston College (2011).

She has been a resident artist at Le Bateau Libre, 59 Rivoli The Aftersquat and Jour et Nuit Culture in Paris as well as had her work included in juried and solo exhibitions throughout the United States and France. Her work is held in private collections throughout Europe, China, and the United States

She currently lives and works in Paris, France.
