Available  paintings


originals

Every painting has a story, some are emotional, some are sweet, all of them are made to visualize human experiences. Originals are one of a kind paintings and only one of them exist in the world. My paintings are mostly mixed media on canvas, but sometimes I use unconventional substrates. Click on a painting or a collection to learn about the story of the collection and the painting.

Previous Collections


in conversation with previous collections

Over the decades Christine has created many collections with varying themes. Most the the collections are created in conversation with previous collections. Christine has crafted a catalog of repeating strokes, elements, and themes in her work as each collection builds on and references other paintings and themes in her work.

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. I am able to manipulate the luster of natural objects and incorporate greater depth and dimension into my pieces. I call my paintings “internal landscapes” that animate internal human experiences.

While I have created artwork in series for the previous decade the current demands of my life have lead me to a more fluid and evolving flow of creation. All of my previous collections have created a catalog of language and elements that repeat in my artworks and series again and again in varying iterations. I use thin layers and glazing techniques to imbue a sense of depth, time gone by and movement though the world. My “lifelines” are a recurring element that speak to individual relationships with friends and family members and the tension and tenor each relationship holds on the canvas. Because – at the end of the day – the relationships we have are the most important thing we possess.
