| Introduction | A Parsons trained designer, Cristine had a long career in graphic design, but felt it was time to return to her first love – painting - and quickly found pastels. She holds Master and Signature status in the Pastel Society of America and serves on the Board of Governors. In 2019 she earned Master Circle in the International Association of Pastel Societies. She has exhibited at The Salmagundi Club and The National Arts Club in New York City; The Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio and many other venues in the Northeast. Cristine’s life unfolded alongside the Hudson River except for a six-year hippie hiatus on a farm in Maine. She now lives in the Champlain Valley of Vermont. She enjoys painting everyday objects, finding what is personal in the common items we all encounter — vintage tools; teacups; our animal friends; piles of produce; piles of anything really, because she loves the rhythm of repetition. |
