Christine has always wanted to be an artist and is proud to be a signature member of the Rochester Art Club and NAWA, as well as a founding member of the Main Street Artists. She paints portraits and landscapes in oil and pastel. Her favorite subjects are from her travels and “slice of life” vignettes. Christine has two grown sons, Alex and Jack, and lives in Irondequoit, NY with her husband, John, and her rowdy Cairn terrier, Rocky. Christine is mostly self taught but has taken classes/workshops with artists like Brian O’Neill, David Kassan, Rob Liberace, Kate Stone and Anna Rose Bain. She sends thanks to Bill Stephens and Sari Gaby for being teachers of the highest degree, Rosemary Pergolizzi for the gentle nudge to paint again, Susan Carmen Duffy for her inspiration, Suzi Zefting-Kuhn for providing our group a space to create and her fellow artists for their unwavering support.
