Artist featured in a collection
I am inspired by the artist Mark Rothko, who believed the spirit of a painting was in the colour. I hope to capture the luminescence and organic nature with layering of various media to evoke emotions. The plastic netting is added as a reminder that our planet cannot continue to use plastic as we have in the past.

I work in a world of exploration, creating art that represents things that we love and care about, whether it is animals, people or the planet. I enjoy combining colours and texture to create a feeling. Sometimes I like a bit of the colour or texture to show through, to reveal itself, indicative of how we cover feelings up, but they are always there, just beneath the surface. Creating art reminds me of being a child, exploring and playing. In this busy complicated world, with too many people and problems, I want my art to make time stand still, to evoke calm, quiet, and comfort. I am inspired by the work of Mark Rothko, Marc Chagall, Juan Miro, and Desmond Morris. Many other artists of the early 1900's influence me and my work. I want my work to communicate the incommunicable. Bio Christine's artistic practice has been shaped by growing up with an alcoholic abusive father. She was born in Manitoba, but spent most of her life in British Columbia, Canada. Living on the prairies and then by the ocean influenced her work, where horizons tend to dominate. Drawing and painting was a constant during Christine's childhood. She went on to study First Nations Art and Archaeology at Simon Fraser University, Art History and Fine Art at Thompson Rivers University and Fine Art at Emily Car University, BC, Canada. Christine and her husband and children had the privilege of living in a remote Native Community on the West Coast of BC, where the Indigenous way of seeing became important to her. Being accepted as an artist in the community allowed her the opportunity to learn First Nations art with respected Nuu-chah-nulth artist and teacher George John. Now in her 60's, Christine has never stopped exploring and experimenting with various materials and forms of art. She has been exhibiting for over 25 years, with her work in private collections around the world. Three of her West Coast First Nations inspired pieces were part of a museum show to bring attention to the plight of wolves in Japan, and one of these also won second prize at the Coho Festival in North Vancouver, BC. Canada Most recently Christine receiving an Award of Excellence for her new environmental work at the London Biennale (2019). In 2014, one of her early environmental pieces was accepted by Leonardo DiCaprio as a gift in thanks for his appreciation of art and his environmental work with the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
