Christine Wasankari has
an extensive art background and majored in both Illustration and
Advertising Graphic Design at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and
Design in Denver, Colorado
She has exhibited in
Washington, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming and her original
paintings and prints are in private and corporate collections in many
parts of the US and Europe. She specializes in landscapes, still life,
floral and abstract expressionism while utilizing a wide range of
media. She is currently living in Washington State near the beautiful
and inspiring Olympic National Park
"While I have a formal art education, I find myself
breaking rules more and more often and certainly trying to
"un-teach" a lot of the formal part of the education. I just do what
I love best, indeed, have to do...Create.
I am constantly inspired by life and my
surroundings. I find that abstract expressionism and experimentation
suits me best though I enjoy working representational as well. It
depends on my mood. I use a wide range of media including Pen and
Ink, Acrylics, Watercolors, Colored Pencils, Pastels, Collage, Sand,
Found Objects, Homemade Papers...almost anything I can get my hands
on.
I live right at the door of Olympic National Park
in Washington State. The beaches, the mountains, the rainforests...
perfect place for isolation to create beautiful art. Thank goodness
for the Internet or I just might starve! ;-)
The name of my studio is after my daughter, Heather Sky."
