Mrs. Crystal Billing
Instructor
Mrs. Crystal Billing is finishing up an MFA from Houston Christian University with a focus on painting and holds a BFA from Liberty University. Crystal is a professional working artist who focuses on oil painting. She is currently represented at Latitude 28° Gallery in Rockport, TX and along with
teaching, plans to gain more gallery representation after graduation.
Crystal is a retired homeschool mom, and a wife of 24 years. She has been a devoted Christian for 28 years. She has lived in Houston for the last 4 years and is native to Missoula Montana. She continues to call the mountains home, spending as many summer months there as possible. Crystal enjoys travel of all kinds, cooking healthy food, going to local concerts and fine art events, and spending time outdoors exploring whether it’s running, hiking, or kayaking. Currently one of her favorite past times is reading a book on the beach while her husband surf fishes.
Crystal has a passion to communicate the “why” of fine art. Art and artists are often viewed as expendable. Crystal has a passion for changing this within Christian culture. Art is a catalyst for cultural change and the Christian artist is a valuable instrument in cultural shifts for the good.
