Her love for art began at the age of 6 and she sold her first painting at the age of 13. Even then she knew that art was her path through this world. A greater understanding, and in her own words, of her history as an artist will be forthcoming in the Journal page. 

Christine’s art is very eclectic in style as she enjoys working with oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels and paints fine art and modern art with equal exuberance. This diversity of contrasting styles caused one art critic from a Seattle magazine to exclaim at her Bellingham, Washington exhibition, “one artist painted all of this!” It is through this diversity that Christine’s ever expanding and questing imagination is allowed the freedom she needs to find true expression. Though she prefers working “En Plein Air” or in her Sierra foothills studio, she has also been seen painting in businesses, homes, airports, cars, hotels or whenever and wherever the Spirit moves her.  

She has traveled extensively worldwide and her love for art and the images she paints are reflected in the warmth and beauty of her paintings. She has also authored and illustrated the books “Inner Visions” and “Expressions” and is currently working on her third book, “Living in Trust.” Though Christine has been moved to paint numerous subjects throughout the world, it is in the Sierra Nevada mountains that she has found her heart’s calling. From lofty peaks to rolling foothills, she has found a subject that she says she will never tire of in her quest to transfer it’s immense beauty onto paper and canvas. Or as she freely states, “what more could an artist ask for.”
