 Cristina's
career has included: A two-year stint as a billboard mural and
lettering artist. Five years teaching college art classes. Nine
years as an artisan tile designer & production artist for her
nationally distributed signature line of ceramic tile during the
1990’s, life long love of the arts and more.
Her
artistry is featured in a variety of books and magazines, including
her successful art book, Paint Happy! (North Light Books,
©2002,2004). She illustrated the children’s book, When Woman Became
the Sea (Beyond Words Pub., ©1998) and contributed to many other
books and periodicals including Artist Magazine, Pure Inspiration,
Better Homes and Gardens, House Beautiful, Latina magazine, Latina
Style, Good Housekeeping, and Woman’s Day home design publications.
Cristina continually paints and writes from her studio at her home
in the rain-shadow of the Cascade Mountains. She creates three
distinct series of paintings: Paint Happy series, Hispanic Heritage
series (Madonnas) and her oils including her Animal Spirit series.
Despite the different styles, her work is typified by her lush use
of color, dynamic design and the presence of joy.
Museums, galleries and collectors nationwide collect and exhibit her
work.
