Artist Bio

---

Christine Barron is a 2D artist who received her MFA from Rochester Institute of Technology. After a decade of producing digital work, she has returned to traditional media at Broadway Studios and Gallery. She uses acrylic and water on raw canvas often in large format. The primary area of interest is in creating abstract landscapes with a focus on atmosphere and mood. Using environmental design grounded in visited places she looks to evoke a place and emotion. On her travels in old Appalachian Mountains, she has experienced places that seem unbothered by the passage of time. The human touch is light and transient. These spaces are places to visit, not linger. Contrasting layers of paint and color with strong geometric shapes are a consistent presence. Feelings become embodied as vast timeless forms unaffected by our personal lives. These forms are not uncaring malicious forces; just inevitable and without bias. The viewer is invited to share this space without direct engagement, but instead a glimpse of the natural essence distilled onto the canvas.
