Pacific Blue Print

California Artist, Christine Bell sees her life as a painter as a journey where she is constantly learning and evolving in her techniques and skills. She therefore allows herself to remain authentic, and to be free to explore or paint a variety of subject matters, following her heart, and what she has found to inspire her in the moment. Christine has been featured in several Magazine Publications, Design Blogs, & has had artwork purchased by many notable collectors / organizations such as HGTV, ABC/DIsney, SONY, and high profile Resorts. Each new, blank canvas is seen as a way to allow herself to become immersed in her paints and apply the layers in ways to present on canvas what is in her mind and soul. Her hope is that the subjective viewer sees her work as art that will stir an emotion, elicit a past memory, or simply bring a genuine smile to their face. Contemporary Artist, Christine Bell, (also known as Christine Bell Krainock-Slominski), works from her artist studio in Temecula, California. Christine has specialized her expressionistic, abstract, palette knife painting style to create unique & striking textured mixed media acrylic paintings that reflect her love of nature & the beauty, movement, texture & light found within it. Christine works in a modern Impressionistic style and often creates her original paintings by applying many layers of paint with palette knives, creating in some an almost sculpted effect all while still maintaining amazing vividness of color and intuitive composition. Christine's passion for painting new original pieces, which are not necessarily planned out, but instead develop as Christine freely applies layer upon layer of paint, allows her to create unique pieces of art that can be interpreted on a personal level by the viewer. She is often employed by top interior designers, and creates commissioned paintings to be displayed in their clients' homes or office spaces. Christine is best known for her highly textured Coastal Abstract Paintings, and her stunning Gold Leaf detailing in some Seascapes / Landscapes. She receives consistent 5 STAR online reviews and glowing testimonials from her clients.
