Laid back and unassuming, Christina occasionally breaks through her introvertedness with her dry sense of humor, qualities reflected in her fine art nature photography, whether it be a portrait of a seed head or the comings and goings of crocheted bunnies. Although she grew up in the big city, she finds she can’t get far away enough into isolation living in the mix of suburban-rural-small town life of Pennsylvania. Her perspective on life is influenced by the interdisciplinary training in the environmental sciences and chemistry and literary works and film. This thinking-outside-the-box mentality shows in her artistic work.

Christina’s worlds unceremoniously grab the viewer and transport them into a new reality, where it is intimate, solitary, fleeting, and expressively tranquil. These worlds are explosions of color even in its subdued hues and explored in perspectives not typically chosen by others.    

She obtained her photographic technical skills attending the Hallmark Institute of Photography. There, she studied under Gregory Heisler, David Turner, and guest lecturers who included Lindsay Adler, Sam Abel, Jay Maisel, and many others. Always drawn to nature, Christina intuitively communicates with her subject to bring out their inner beauty. Her recurring themes found in the worlds she creates are to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of society and one’s self, to dream and explore, to notice and observe what is overlooked, and to bring out the light and soul of what she sees.
