ABOUT... Christina's artworks represent her experience with the environment and atmosphere, which she draws upon to bring life into her paintings. Just watching clouds or looking at the ocean or exploring the forest brings her constant inspiration. Christina's work is an abstract reimagining of the environment she experiences, with each piece being a creation and representation of sky, land, ocean, and everything in between.
The elements of earthly space and materiality determine the artist's color palette and the ultimate expression of emotional depth. Christina's use of acrylic resin allows her to create distinct layers using color, image, and minerals. She has developed a methodology for positioning paint, dyes, image, and object on specific layers to create a carefully considered clear-layered experience. Each of Christina's works is an investigation of our atmospheric life and her use of depth is her artistic device used to harness a kind of virtual space as a means to an end: to hold the attention of the viewer. The artist uses this process to satisfy and challenge her need to literally see her work take shape while allowing for a great deal of creative freedom to use the materials at hand to interpret and create an environment within. The artist's process of making paintings comes from her desire to create a beautiful and meaningful surprise for her audience.
