Christina Beecher
Artist Statement:
So deep is Nature’s effect on me, that I am always profoundly aware of the ever-changing light, tones and values of my surroundings. I see the way the trees may look in the summer, full of life and color, and later, as the seasons change. I can study the complex structures of these same trees while marveling at their grace and simplicity.

Artist Bio:
Christina holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. After spending nearly twenty years in the design world, Christina changed artistic direction and began to paint. Awestruck by the landscape, she has come to study its ever-changing qualities that make it so unique. “I paint solely from memory, creating paintings that bring peace and a special quietude. This frees me up to paint not only what I may have seen but also, more importantly, what I feel.” Christina works in oils and often demonstrates her “wiping off” tonal technique to groups and workshops. This approach lends a special softness and ethereal quality to her work. This tonal is often left as is, with no added color, though she feels some of her work needs and deserves the “luxury of some color”.
Beecher’s work has been widely exhibited and has won many awards. She shows in the local New England art scene and teaches private lessons out of her studio.
