paper collage

Explore the world of acrylic mediums where you can do just about anything! From super smooth to thick and juicy, Christina will demonstrate unique tools for texturing and ways to incorporate paper collage into your paintings.

Christina studied fine arts at the University of British Columbia Okanagan where she developed a "lets see what happens" approach towards art making. A sense of fun and a love of nature are consistent themes within her paintings. You can view her work at
