ABOUT THE AUTHORBorn and raised in the Rocky Mountains of Northern Utah, Christine found solace in the quiet and peaceful town she grew up in, enchanted by the mountains encircling the tiny lakeside town.With a Bachelors degree in art Christine found that same solace living near Yosemite National Park where she began her art career as a full time artist and silk painter. Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite was her first gallery to exhibit and sell artwork, soon afterwards she began selling in galleries located in Hawaii, Florida, Arizona and Cabo San Lucas Mexico. Along the way, poetry edged into Christine's creative space lending itself in collaboration with her artwork."Being in nature awakens my spirit; this is the inspiration that moves me to create something new. Giving meaning to the meaningless and reflecting a moment of time, even if set in motion, my goal is to capture a stillness that is now" Christine Sutherland.
