"Fishing Boats," Amateur Fishing Association, Spetses, Greece, 18 cm x 24 cm, oil on canvas The discovery of the Amateur Fishing Association on the island brought me much delight. It was found on the bicycle trips I took in exploration of the “New Port” area called Faros (the lighthouse). This area proved to be quite inspiring for me as it may have done for others there before me as the pathway leading down to the little marina is lined with life-size metal sculptures of animals (you are greeted by a bull and within the trees that were planted by the Association you will find a family of goats). The club was itself initiated by the locals when they rescued the bridge of a sunken English-made boat out of the water and converted it into a shelter for the fishermen during poor weather 24 years ago.

My main aspirations are creating illustrations, designing and painting for a purpose. I am continually recording my impressions of nature, people and their cultures in my work. My paintings will be on exhibit in Abu Dhabi from February, 2014. I graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York in 2008 with a degree in design for communication, and in the same year opened an art space in Southern Greece. Several exhibitions I have participated in include an environmental-awareness exhibit sponsored by the Evgenidou Foundation ("˜09), an exhibit with artists from the Middle East at the UN in Geneva ('10) and "Dreams & Think Positive" at SG Gallery in St. George Lycubittus (Nov. and Dec. "˜11). Having grown up in Saudi Arabia, I feel strongly connected with the Arab culture and use my upbringing as a reference in my work; and a Greek-American both countries' heritage provide a unlimited source of inspiration. I also work to touch peoples lives through art and culture by curating exhibitions and promoting other artists. www.bluefigart.gr http://www.behance.net/christineosmith www.etsy.com/shop/BlueFigArt
