Christine was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Redlands. She started drawing at a young age and wanted to be an animator or comic book illustrator until she tried painting with acrylics during high school.

At the age of 19 Christine painted her first large scale mural at the Frugal Frigate Childrens Bookstore in downtown Redlands. Local business owners passing by asked her if she would paint art on their buildings, and since then her art clientele has included the Cities of Redlands and Riverside, Loma Linda University, Trader Joe’s, The Armand Hammer Museum, and many businesses, schools and homes throughout Southern California.

In 2007 she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Otis College of Art + Design in Los Angeles. She studied under notable artists including Kent Twitchell, Peter Zokosky, and Suzanne Lacy. Christine assisted muralist Twitchell in the restoration of two of his large L.A. freeway murals. She also worked with an art conservator to help restore an Alfredo Ramos Martinez fresco mural in the Coronado Library. These experiences made a great impact on the quality of Christine’s murals and oil paintings.

For her oil paintings, Christine draws inspiration from her surroundings. She uses a combination of techniques to portray realism in her portraits, still life and scenery
