Christine is a well-known seascape artist residing in New Bern, North Carolina. Her coastal landscapes and depictions of local wildlife reflect her love for her adopted coastal home of eastern North Carolina. 

Originally from Ohio, Christine retired from a career in Nursing in 2017 and relocated to New Bern with her husband Rick in 2018. Together they spend time exploring the NC coastline, where she finds inspiration for her art at the “water’s edge”.

“I’ve always been happiest at the water’s edge.  I love painting there as I find my peace and joy in the connection with the water and shore. I have a quote that says, ‘where the sea meets soul’, and that sums up the heart of my art too”.  

In New Bern, Christine’s work can be seen at both the Community Artist Gallery and Studios and the Bank of the Arts. Her art is also available at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum and Heritage Center in Morehead City and Harker’s Island, North Carolina and in the Community Council for art in Kinston, NC.

Recently juried into the 2020 North Carolina Watercolor Society Show, Christine also has exhibited art in the Twin Rivers Art Association Annual Show, the Studio Tour and the Bank of the Arts Critter Show. She is a member of both North Carolina and Coastal Carolina Plein Air groups. She has studied under watercolorists Barney Cole and Tony Couch, among others. In addition to watercolor, she enjoys exploring creativity in oils and mixed media.

She also is available for commissioned work.

Testimonials:

 Linda Woloszynek, Painesville, Ohio
"Is your soul dusty? Then you have surely come to the right place. Picasso

has said, “Art washes away the dust of everyday life.” And that is what

Chris’ art does for me. With a keen eye to detail and a love for creation and

creatures her paintings deliver a blessing that points to a perfection not yet

seen but hoped for. Whether in watercolor, oil or driftwood she reflects her

love of water and the many ways of representing it. My husband and I are

privileged to own several original pieces, including a commissioned piece

that I ordered for him. They are all treasures to us. Chris and her husband

Rick, who frames her work are a special gift to us and their work washes

our dusty souls."

Testimonials:

Tiffany Scherer Avon, Ohio

 "Christine’s creations blow me away! Her ability to translate raw emotion and bursts of energy onto whatever surface she uses is like no other painter I have encountered. Christine is able to touch her brush into the paint and create a vast domain of color and deep texture that touches the heart. Because her hands are so imaginative and talented, there is really nothing she can’t paint. Partner her exquisite paintings with a frame created by her husband Rick, and you will have a treasure. 

We have dozens of her pieces in our home, and feel extremely lucky to have access to the worlds she creates without ever leaving our house! I can’t help but smile when I see her paintings."


Libby Schedler, Willoughby, Ohio  

 " I have 6 paintings that are beyond stunning from Chris. Each piece I have from her is so unique and soulful. I just can’t stop. My very first piece was a commission because the one I originally wanted got sold. If you’re thinking about it just do it. You can’t make the wrong decision when it comes to her art!" 


Robin Craig, Cleveland, Ohio

" Chris has a gift for capturing and conveying the beauty of both lake and sea, as well as the boats and lighthouses which bring human endeavor to the waterside. She is making increasing use of color as she adds the vibrancy of bird and other natural life to her work.  Every day my eyes rest upon one of her large heron paintings overseeing our kitchen, and I have added several smaller prints and a seascape driftwood sculpture to guest rooms - her vision adds a distinctive grace to our home.

Message for this piece:

Reclaim

When we are young, we have no idea of the treasure of our heart. Through the years, we end up with pieces left or taken. Years sometimes go by and we begin to realize the value of our heart and work to find and reclaim pieces and value our heart in ways that say, “Please handle carefully”, it is me.
