Christina was born and raised in Evansville, IN. She graduated from IU Bloomington with a BA in Sociology and Psychology. She lived in Louisville, KY from 2006-2015 which is where she was inspired to pursue art as a career. She currently lives in Evansville, IN with her husband and son.
"My artwork is an ongoing documentation of my immediate frame of reference. I tend to take an introspective approach to art, allowing my intuition to guide me through what needs to be communicated with each piece. Many of my works portray emotions brought upon by the human condition while others simply serve as a meditational outlet through color and shape. My work explores themes of self-exploration and the interconnectedness of all things.”
