About Christine

My paintings reflect horses experiencing the world of human emotions and the landscape of life. My own emotions and thoughts are poured into each painting, visually expressed through the purity of heart and essence of horses.  Especially the horse for me is both familiar and strange awe-inspiring and elemental they regularly appear at the interception of experience, and the narrative is born painting happens at this intersection painting becomes the organizing.
When painting I feel free, loose, and have a natural feeling which develops into sharp contrast values that I obtain with both colors combined of bright and dark and details that I feel my paintings show an interest in the nature of color. I had the experience from the interest scenes, leading me to the knowledge of my paintings reflect horses experiencing the world of human emotions and the landscape of life. My own emotions and thoughts are poured into each painting, visually expressed through the purity of heart and essence of horses. I love painting. My passion is the equine painting which brings inspire feel, dynamic energy to my soul, and intense colors.
