Christine's artistic journey is deeply influenced by her environment. Living by a lake provides her with a constant source of inspiration, and the natural beauty surrounding her shapes her creative output. The interplay of light on the water, the textures of sand, and the warmth of the sun all contribute to her artistic sensibilities. This connection to nature is evident in her pottery, where organic forms and earthy colours often reflect the landscapes she cherishes.

In addition to her immediate surroundings, she draws inspiration from her travels. The textures and forms found in these experiences often find their way into her pottery, creating pieces that resonate with a sense of nostalgia and authenticity.

Christine's approach to pottery is not merely about creating functional items; it is an exploration of form, texture, and colour. Each piece is crafted with intention, reflecting her artistic journey and the influences that shape her work. The process of molding clay allows her to connect with the material in a way that is both meditative and expressive, resulting in unique creations that tell a story. Through her work, she invites others to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the artistry that can be found in everyday life.
