About The Artwork
“FUN” is an ongoing series that began when my marriage counselor practically screamed at me and my husband, “OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS ARE SO SERIOUS, DO YOU GUYS EVER HAVE ANY FUN!?!” We’ve been bad at fun. This admonition from our therapist really made us take a look at ourselves and ask questions about fun. What does it mean and look like? What is the difference between fun and enjoyment? Why do adults seem to be good at enjoyment and pleasure – seemingly focused on nervous system relaxation and why are children so good at unbridled fun and play? What’s the difference? Why don’t we prioritize fun and play as we age? How can it look different for different people? We started being intentional about fun and trying more things, being unafraid of the absurd, or ridiculous – giving frivolity a chance. We sipped wine, played twister on canvas under the light of a disco ball and went where fun led. The colorful splotches at the bottom of a few of these works are colorful toes – the remnants of twister.

Christine Olmstead is a conceptual and abstract mixed-media artist based in Northern Virginia. Her works have been widely exhibited across the United States since she released her first collection in 2015. Olmstead describes her paintings as “internal landscapes” that attempt to give tangible form to inner emotions and universal experiences that include unbridled joy, grief, and heartbreak. She produces her works through a meditative process and devotes particular attention to movement, light, color, and sound. Olmstead views her paintings as restorative icons that remind viewers to seek peace and promote healing in their lives. Olmstead was named a 2022 Repaint History winner and recognized by Gillian Jason gallery for her professional achievements. She recently completed her first international residency in Orquevaux, France and looks forward to sharing the works she produced while abroad.
