Christine is a visual artist, now working and teaching on the Gold Coast, having spent her early years in picturesque Inverell, rural NSW, where she discovered her passion for colour and all things arty, at an early age. Having experimented with a variety mediums and attending many courses, Christine now favours sketching, water colour, pen and wash, acrylics and oils. Her forte is portraits, especially children, her grandchildren being a constant inspiration; and colourful floral subjects often from her own lovely garden.

Christine is a published illustrator of children's books, a successful art exhibitor and many commissioned works. Her aim as a teacher, is to help her students develop their own unique style in whatever their chosen medium. "Being creative should be fun and uplifting.. be brave, it's just paint, and if it doesn't wr we'll just paint over it"!
