Biography
Christina was born in Hamburg, Germany, and came to the United States with her family at the age of 10. In the United States, her journeys have led her from New York to California with stays in New Mexico and Arizona. Her extensive travels have taken her from Europe to Central America, South America, Asia, and Australia.
Christina is an artist in search of reality. Not so much the reality of the mystical as that of the spiritual. The real subject matter of her work lies beyond the surface and identifiable forms. While her work may offer recognizable images, the core of her art rests in the metaphysical and is always anchored by those universal qualities that transcend the obvious.
Education
Christina holds a Master of Fine Arts in Art, from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Arkansas. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Art and German from Arkansas Tech University, in Russellville, Arkansas. Christina is inspired by both Georgia O'Keeffe and Henriette Wyeth. Christina's cultural background, educational interests, and artistic interests have shaped her artistic growth.
