Born in Morecambe in 1957, Christine was one of the final students
to study a foundation course in art at the Storey Institute
in Lancaster. This led to her degree from Liverpool Polytechnic
in 1979. Christine diversified her talents into commercial interior
design creating one-off large scale art works, then became a
buyer of art and a design consultant for major breweries. She
still enjoyed invitations to exhibit work alongside many of
her contemporaries in Merseyside and was the artist in residence
at the Walker Art Gallery, at Unilever and in education.

In 1989-1990,
The Williamson Art Gallery and Museum in Birkenhead hosted her
solo retrospective exhibition of over 100 works. The Williamson
still has 3 large canvases in its permanent collection. In 2003,
Christine returned to Lancaster where the familiar Morecambe
Bay and the Lune Valley area inspire her to produce intimate
yet powerful and passionate works.
