“ As both a painter and a graphic designer I have always enjoyed interpreting nature by blending the simplicity of design with the intensity of color that painting allows.”

Christina’s abstract florals and landscapes are featured in both private and corporate collections around the area. Her work has been described as vibrant and rich.

She received her bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1996. Her concentration was in painting, graphic design with a focus in psychology. During a semester abroad, Christina studied graphic design at the Glasgow School of Art in Glasgow, Scotland. In 2000, she received her master’s degree in Art Therapy from MCP Hahnemann University. She has experience working as a graphic designer in the healthcare advertising field and as an art therapist in the long term care setting in Philadelphia.

Her work has been shown at Borders Bookstore, both in Bryn Mawr, PA and Center City Philadelphia. In 2004 and 2005, Christina successfully participated in the Philadelphia Open Studios Tour (POST) annual event which showcases local artists from Philadelphia. After moving to New Jersey in 2006, she has participated in art shows and fundraisers that support her local community. In November 2009, she became one of the founding members of the newly formed Lawrenceville Main Street Artists Network. This cooperative gallery allows Christina to show her work on a regular basis while also giving her the opportunity to teach children’s art classes.

Christina lives in the village of Lawrenceville, NJ, with her husband and two young children.
