Bio:

Christine is a watercolor artist that lives and works in the greater Kansas City area. Originally trained at the University of Central Missouri in art education, she was able to continue her artistic training specifically in watercolor at Adams State University in Taos, New Mexico. Christine views herself as an Artist/Educator. She taught in the Kansas City, Kansas district for over 30 years and taught at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for over 36 years and at UMKC working with art education students. Many of her paintings are directly inspired by the Nelson Museum’s collections. Other works were developed using her travels in the Southwest, China and Italy. Her work can be representational or abstract and is vibrant in color and utilizes many layers of transparent paint. She uses a variety of techniques that provide interesting visual effects within her paintings. Christine’s work has been exhibited in a variety of spaces, both regionally and nationally and owned by several private collectors such as the NCAA. One painted piece was done on fabric and became part of the September 11 Quilt Project. This piece was featured in People Magazine. It is part of a September 11 collection at the Colorado Historical Society. Christine always refers to painting as “feeding her soul”. She hopes that her work will speak to your soul.
