A Little Story About Art 4 You in Apex

Hello, I’m Christina McAlister, owner and artist at Art 4 You in Apex.

From a young age, I’ve had three core passions: Art, Animals, and Athletics. These interests have shaped my life and work, guided by the values instilled in me by my Christian upbringing. I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Finance and Accounting at the University of Texas at Dallas, but art was always a part of my life. I fostered animals, played tennis for the university, and minored in Visual Arts, all while preparing for a business career.

After earning my degree, I moved to North Carolina and worked in technology sales for Cisco Systems. But in 2011, I left the corporate world to become a stay-at-home mom, where my heart found its true purpose: combining art, animals, and nature into a space where both children and adults could connect, create, and grow. In 2013, Art 4 You was born, starting with children’s art classes and expanding into art therapy and animal-assisted art sessions for seniors.

As the business grew, so did my offerings. I became a face painter, integrated more animals into my classes, and created a space where creativity thrives in a small-group setting. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching over 1,500 paintings, adding goats and ponies to our farm, and expanding our studio space to over 750 square feet.

Today, I feel incredibly blessed and grateful for the support of my community. Art 4 You has been recognized as the Most Loved Visual Arts Center in Cary and Apex for 2021, and I cherish the relationships I’ve built with every person who has walked through our doors. You are family.

Thank you for supporting my dream and for allowing me to share my passions with you.

With much love,
Christina McAlister
