"Lure of the Lowcountry"
By Helen K. Beacham
Christine Crosby is Art Central Gallery’s featured artist for the month of March. A
native of Charleston, SC, Christine currently resides in Summerville. She attended
Charleston County Schools and the College of Charleston. She worked in the
financial industry until a heart attack followed by triple bypass surgery at the age of
thirty four made her take stock of what was important in her life. A lifelong love of
art led to a new and less stressful career.
What had begun as therapy quickly became her passion. She took workshops with
several well know local artists and then branched out, studying on her own to
develop her own personal and distinctive style.
A lifetime of exploring the Carolina Lowcountry has dictated her subject matter. The
marshes, beaches and swamps and the creatures that inhabit them are her
inspirations. Christine is happiest in or on the water swimming, kayaking, fishing or
just sitting on a shore.
She says "Art is my escape. It is my hope that viewers of my paintings find the
same peace and tranquility that I experience as I create them. My goal is to invest
nature with therapeutic values, to paint meditative landscapes in a luminous style,
paying close attention to light and to set down very simply and sincerely my vision
of nature."
