Hello, and thank you for stopping by.
I’m Christina, a visual artist and printmaker whose work explores the quiet beauty of the natural world and the deep pull of the past. My art reflects a lifelong fascination with landscape, history, and our emotional connection to place.
Originally from Wales, I’ve lived and worked in various countries, and I currently call Leipzig home.
Through drawing and printmaking, I try to create space for slower observation, paying attention to fleeting details and atmospheric moments that are often overlooked or quickly lost.
I am drawn to the transient qualities within a landscape, places shaped as much by memory and feeling as by direct observation. A small chapel above the lakes, trees shifting in the evening light, or the hush of a path disappearing into shadow can become the starting point for a print.
Walking through a landscape is like going on a journey through time.
Wherever I go, I find myself drawn to the stories held in the land—hedgerows shaped by hand, the curve of old stone walls, burial mounds softened by time. These aren’t just remnants of history; they’re thresholds into other ways of seeing, feeling, and remembering.
My work is an attempt to hold onto those fleeting moments.
Whether I’m drawing, painting, or printmaking, I respond intuitively to the atmosphere a place evokes—its mood, texture, memory. I use expressive mark-making and restrained palettes to distil that feeling into image.
The smell of damp earth, woodsmoke in the distance, the mist rising across a field—these elemental experiences ground me. They remind me that we’re part of a much older, slower rhythm than modern life often allows.
In my printmaking practice, I explore the quiet power of form -
abstracting my subjects into raw shapes and patterns and often working in limited palettes to evoke stillness and timelessness, as if the moments they depict might endure forever.
I travelled though many ancient landscapes before I became an artist.
Before following my creative path, I worked as an archaeological scientist. I hold a D.Phil from the University of Oxford, and spent years studying the physical traces of past lives. Though I left research in 2007 to pursue art, those years instilled a lasting respect and love for ancient landscapes—and a quiet reverence for how they continue to shape our lives and our sense of belonging.
