About Me:  Hello! My name is Christine. I am a full-time artist/entrepreneur, who lives in a little house in Guelph Ontario, Canada, with a husband, four cats, and a pug. I have enjoyed drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, and have always dreamt of making art my full-time career. When I was a kid, I used to make my pocket money by painting small flower pots for my grandmother and her friends in the summer, and I later expanded my "business" to include murals on potting sheds as well as name plaques and signs for gardens. That annual summer venture ignited an entrepreneurial spark in me. I have an education in marketing, and I have worked in many fields, from customer service to textile design, but my passion has always been my art - I am always called back to my pencils and brushes. I mostly work with acrylics, graphite, and canvas, but I love to try new things and I am constantly looking to expand my creative options. You will notice that the designs are varied and changing all the time as I experiment with different styles... I am still finding my voice when it comes to my art.
