Inspiration is all around us and I find mine in the everyday minutia of life. My work is the product of a childlike imagination, an obsessive dedication to detail, and a whimsical twist on the otherwise mundane.
I use acrylic and oil paint with discarded print materials and fabrics to create my mad lib style of art that is thought provoking yet colorful and approachable to broad audiences because I want my work to bring a smile, nostalgia, renewed whimsy, or a feeling of connection to everyone.
Bio
Christine was born in New Jersey to a large, boisterous, extended family and relocated to South Carolina in her early teens. She earned a degree in Early Childhood Development and spent many years working with programs through the Middle Tyger Community Center and SC First Steps.
She is a self-taught artist who honed her skills over years of being inspired by her work with young children and the imaginations of her own brood. Christine entered her first piece into a juried show in 2017 and has been spreading her art through Spartanburg ever since.
She lives in Boiling Springs with her husband, six children, three rescue dogs, one lonely cat, and a faithful following of well-fed backyard squirrels.
Member since 2024.
