Welcome friend, while you’re here, I ask that you stop for a second and take a deep breath. Take a second to breathe, slow down, and just enjoy where you are and what you see. Close a few of those tabs. As you slow down and breathe try to embrace peace and joy, release your stresses and fears. Take a second to notice where you are, what you see, and try to find some beauty there. I hope that when you look at my pieces whether in person or online that you feel peaceful, joyful, and that you can remember all of the beauty around you.

Hi, I'm Christine


About my work

I use mixed media to create sweeping abstract paintings that refract light and construct shadows. By infusing metallics, including 24k gold leaf, 18k rose gold, and genuine silver leaf, into my works, I am able to manipulate the luster of natural objects and incorporate greater depth and dimension into my pieces. My paintings animate internal feelings and sensations, and reflect my experience of synesthesia.

Although I have mainly produced paintings throughout my career, I began to explore installation and public art in 2021, with a series called “Synesthetic Bodies”. In this series, I no longer rely on canvas and instead utilize light fabric as my painting surface. When installed, these paintings become dynamic objects that take on a greater sense of whimsy and chance as they ripple through the air. Characterized by larger and more concentrated deposits of gilding paint and bright colors, these paintings celebrate a sense of wonder and fantasy. They provide an audio-visual impression of how I experience music through multiple senses. Each piece contains the visions and shapes that I see while listening to specific measures of Debussy’s “Clair de lune.” In the coming months, I aim to experiment with more interactive public works and embrace collaborative opportunities with other artists and makers.
