Meet the Artist:
After living in Madison, WI and teaching at the UW-Madison, the Chasen Museum, and MMOMA for over 9 years, Christine moved almost two years ago to northern Wisconsin where she now maintains her studio and garden at her lakeside home in Lac du Flambeau. The subject matter of Christine’s work has been gathered over years of wilderness travel. Christine has a Ph.D(ABD), MFA, MA and BA all in Art from the UW-Madison. Christine’s work, has been recognized in many juried art competitions and gallery’s throughout the U.S., and is collected by collectors nationally and internationally.
I paint abstract subject matter. It changes from my own unique, imaginative marvels to common, ordered, statements or to motley complex wonderings every time people interact with it. I cherish these motley complex wonderings. They keep things in motion, perpetual motion. Common unimaginative statements do not. The perpetual movement of creative imaginative wonderings is Divine. It creates a web and weave that resembles hundreds of pieces of crumpled paper tossed into a big pile. If we try and order these sheets of crumpled paper, if we try to define them and flatten them and staple them all together, they will stop moving. To date we have found it impossible to flatten the piles of crumpled papers we have created. To date they remain abstract and very complex. Perhaps that is the way they are supposed to be? And that is why I understand them to be Devine.
Christine was recently named the Fine Art Chairperson of the Auxiliary of Howard Young Medical Center.
