Artist Statement:
Christine, a self-taught

old masters. Around the age of
14 she exhibited for the first
time in a Canterbury Art
Exhibition. During the early
years at High school, she
received a First Prize for
Art, though having had no
formal tuition. She went on to
study Art History (University
of Canterbury) and more
recently, Information Design
(CPIT) including current
design principles, the use and
impact of visual information
particularly in today’s world,
often alluded to as the 'age
of the image’.
Christine's paintings explore
a variety of subjects and
styles from realism through to
abstract, using various media,
including watercolour, oil and
acrylics. She considers her
favoured approach somewhat
expressionistic. She paints
from her imagination, drawings
and her own digital
photographs. Comments are that
Christine’s paintings exude
striking use and placement of
color and this has been
reflected in her early success
as a professional artist.
