As if that news isn’t exciting enough, Christine was also notified that her painting, The Song The Wind Sings was given a merit award at the Manito Art Leagues Regional Exhibition. Judge Ken Bloom, curator, artist from Duluth, Minnesota made these comments about her work:
A highly abstracted and exploding composition, layered of quantitative forms superimposed upon an ambiguous landscape suggesting a tectonic cleft, as a storied map of describing evolution and transcendence.
The Song The Wind Sings
The song the wind sings
The tears the rain cried
white waves
blue against the shore
seeds sown
Footprints.
