I had the opportunity to showcase my bee series alongside 8 other artists for a two month exhibit iin the heart of Old Ottawa South. All works were 12 x12” in format and covered a range of painting styles and subject matter.
Have you ever wondered how bees see the world?
There is a whole lot going on around us that is beyond what our RGB eyes can process. Our eyes can’t see UV light, so we miss out on flowers’ hidden patterns and markings (this painted series has a hidden layer and glows secret patterns in black light!). One of Christina’s passions is rewilding urban landscapes and planting native gardens that provide food source and havens for pollinators and all insects. The plants she paints are local native species that the bees absolutely love to frolic around in (painted in technicolour patterns akin to how bees see the world).
Christina has devoted her time to sharing the joy that art + creative expression brings to folx of all ages, and has a keen interest in the connections between humans and their environment. Her works focus on educating and building curiosity towards the beings that we share our world with.
Looking for the right vibe and energy for your creative project?
Visual storytelling is kind of my jam. I love bringing ideas to life through art, and am especially into environmentally forward messaging.
Add the unique touch of analog that will make your project stand out against the world of digital illustration that already exists.
