Christina’s beautiful, expressive paintings grace the walls of hundreds of collectors, and can be found in galleries throughout the Southeast.A full-time artist since 2002, she was chosen as an Emerging Artist by Art & Antiques Magazine early in her career, and since then her work has been featured in decorator show homes, on HGTV, and in magazines. Texture and movement are very important elements in Christina’s mixed media paintings. In addition to multiple layers of paint, Christina also mixes in charcoal, graphite and oil pastels to add energy, interest, and dimension. Stylistically, areas of intense activity are often juxtaposed with areas of calmness in her compositions, which creates the emotion and mood in her work. Her original artwork looks incredible in all environments; whether seamlessly installed in a modern space, or mixed in with more traditional homes, adding a contemporary touch to the walls, and a fresh update to the room. Christina grew up in Europe. She studied Fine Art at Skidmore College, where she fell in love with Abstract Expressionism. After graduatingwith Highest Honors, she attended The Portfolio Center for Advertising. She was an art director for more than a decade. While working at agencies in San Francisco and Atlanta, she gained an appreciation for design concepts that often make their way into the structure of her paintings. Christina lives in the Atlanta area with her husband and son.
