|
 |
|
| Christina's
paintings (and sculptures) are unique and easily recognised, expressing
joy, colour and movement. The subject matter is derived from the
ordinary and spiritual that she finds in her homes and surroundings
in Sweden, Britain and France. She has taught in Further Education as well as giving private
classes and workshops for many years. She uses a holistic approach
in her workshops, guiding groups in colour expression. Christina has many solo and group exhibitions in Britain, Sweden and France. Many of her paintings can be found in these countries and also in collections in Australia, Germany, Canada, Holland, The USA and Russia. |
|
| Christina says, 'My
way of painting is drawn from my roots in Sweden, a long beautiful country, that holds itself in majesty through its folklore, culture and history. There is a unity in this and its red and white houses
that dance through the countryside. One forgets the hardship of the past, a cold, poor country with long dark winters, which give birth to a celebration of light, an inner faith, and a spiritual totality. |
 The dance' Granna Sweden |

|
| 'My' French mountain in the Languedoc, which occurs in many of my paintings became a guest into this world, rooted in my homeland. And so the very ordinary, my homes, my life-dance through my paintings in creation.' | |
