Christine’s work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the UK, including the acclaimed Mall Galleries, via the Society of Women's Artists (SWA) and the highly respected Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
Christine was born in Cardiff in 1960. During the late 70’s while studying Fine Art at Glasgow University, she met her husband-to-be and subsequently moved to Tehran. Here, while raising her family, she continued to study and paint, and immersed herself in the rich and ancient traditions of Persian art, culture and language.
On her return to the UK with her family, in the mid 90’s, she continued working and exhibiting through different art groups in London and the Home Counties, including the exclusive Society of Women Artists (SWA).
Drawing on her many and eclectic influences, Christine has evolved her own impressionistic style, employing Oils, Acrylics and Mixed Media. Her strong sense of colour, layered texture and abstract pattern inform and embellish her highly sought after urban landscapes.
Her work sets out to capture the magic of specific places and moments in life, inviting the viewer to enter into the picture and to experience it by drawing on their own memories and responses. Christine thus inspires us to recall our own specific moments more vividly.
