While she was teaching in the Greater Toronto Area, Christine began to paint in watercolour.  She found the experience so rejuvenating, she gradually branched out into acrylics, stained glass and now oils.

Essentially a self-taught artist, Christine has periodically taken week-long summer courses with Pauline Hollancin and Dennis Cliff at Fleming’s Haliburton School of the Arts; with Patricia Fairhead and Kai-Lys McInnes at the Blue Mountain School in Collingwood; and with Richard Edwards at the La Cloche Country Art School in Whitefish Falls.

Her watercolours, mixed media and stained glass hang in private homes in Caledon East, Orangeville, St. Catharines, North Bay, Timmins, Ottawa, Peterborough,  Marmora, and Kelowna B.C.

Christine’s work has been shown in The Caledon Inn in Caledon East, The Underground Gallery in Timmins, the General Hospital and Opera House in Orangeville, The Essence of Art Gallery in Marmora, in West Wings and the Public Library in Stirling, in the Quinte Waters juried show in Belleville, and in the Off the Wall show in The Peterborough Art Gallery

Much of Christine’s work captures images within images.  Doing watercolour led her to see how easily one form can grow inside another.  She is constantly seeing the unity of life, the connections between life forms and life histories. Her goal is that others will see their connectedness to nature and to society.
