Artist's Statement “The process of photography helps me satisfy my need for creative expression, my desire to explore fragments of the world’s visual landscape, and my search for stillness. With my camera in hand or stuffed in my backpack, I set out on a mission of discovery. I use my camera as a tool to explore visual objects, subjects, or scenes. With tremendous focus, I take these visual fragments into my mind’s eye for a moment and hold them and myself still while taking photographs. Photography gives me a unique view of the world around me, and there is great joy in passing this view on to others.” Back to Top

Biography Born in Wisconsin, Christine grew up in southern California and lived there through her mid-twenties. She then began her journey east, spending about ten years in northern Indiana before settling in Maine. Once in Maine, Christine knew she would never live anywhere else. Christine began studying and practicing photography in mid-life. Never having taken cameras very seriously before, things changed once she acquired a camera to take photographs of the magnificent world around her camp in northern Maine. Christine quickly discovered that a camera gave her much more than pictures. She learned that her camera was a tool for seeing. With her camera in hand, she looked at the world more attentively. She quite literally saw things she had never seen before. Christine's camera brought her a whole new world...in some ways, a whole new life. Christine's career has been spent in teaching and education administration. She has worked at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine for eighteen years both as registrar and as director of institutional research. Christine's undergraduate degree is from the University of San Diego, where she majored in music. She did graduate work at both the University of California, Riverside and the University of Notre Dame. She holds a Doctor of Education degree from Western Michigan University. Christine's photographic training has mainly been completed at the world-renowned Maine Media Workshops in Rockport, Maine. There she has studied with Jan Rosenbaum, Shannon Ayres, and Terry Abrams. Christine also owns Still Point Art Gallery, an online art gallery that provides opportunities for artists to show and sell their work through various types of exhibitions and opportunities. Christine and her husband, David, and two Irish Setters live in Brunswick, Maine and spend as much time as possible at their camp in northern Maine on Upper Shin Pond. Back to Top
