About

Welcome! Thanks for being here. I'm Christa!

ArtisticVegan.com started in back in 2012 with a desire to share my plant-based lifestyle with others.

I’m originally from Vancouver, WA born and raised. I have lived in Tucson, San Diego and in various parts of Mexico.

In 2010 I started my vegetarian lifestyle and later went vegan with my beloved husband, Gerald Clark. We were both enjoying vegetarian living and decided to try vegan. At first, I didn’t know what to make or what to eat, I started cooking and for the first time in my life, found a passion for it. My husband encouraged me to capture my recipes and pictures. I felt funny at first, until I watched Julie & Julia was inspired to start a blog, ran into a gal at a health food store who had a blog and started my own. Years later I am still here blogging, now shooting recipe videos (YouTube), have a cookbook (The Artistic Vegan Cookbook), and enjoying tasty recipes.

ArtisticVegan.com has been awarded the Top 100 Vegan Blogs in 2017 and 2018, Top 60 Vegan Blogs in 2017, 2017 Must-Follow Vegan Blog, has been featured in One Green Planet, Thermie Living, Perfectly Plant-Based Cookbook & Website and Raw Food Magazine.

It's no secret eating fresh fruits and vegetables are good for your health. This site is designed to help you and others figure out how to make eating healthier attainable. You can still eat dairy, fish, meat and anything else you feel your body needs, I'm not asking you to change, I'm only offering some healthy alternatives that can be incorporated into your life. Adding yummy homemade juices, smoothies, breakfast, lunch and dinner, soup, desserts and much more. Plus, I hope to help you make some seriously delicious food. I love food and flavor a lot, I bet you’ll find recipes that will make your mouth water and stomach satisfied.

I hope to encourage gathering around the table, enjoying community, friendship, family, laughter and sensational food.

I also teach structural integration with my husband on our online school with GravityBodyAcademy.com, check it out to see if you can find better posture, a new career, renewed health and energy.

I also love to teach yoga - Yoga with Christa on YouTube and at ArtisticVegan.vhx.tv and ChristaJClark.com. Yoga helps me and others to find inner peace, let go of stress, worries, anxiety, to feel empowered, to merge their smaller ego self with their higher self so they can change the world too!

As I follow my dreams, I encourage you to follow your dreams.

It’s a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for being here and apart of this beautiful growing community! Over 200K strong!

My love,
Christa
