About Christine

I believe that creativity is not just about making art—it’s about finding your way back to yourself.


I’m a Certified Therapeutic Art Practitioner and Fine Art Educator with over twenty-five years’ experience leading clients in both studio and community settings. My focus has always been helping others find their own creative style that supports their goals, in art and life.
