CHRISTINE BLACK

An award winning watercolor artist and photographer, Christine has been painting the islands and inlets of the Florida Keys for over 20 years.  As her studio overlooks an easterly facing bay on Ramrod Key, Christine experiences both wonderful daily sunrises and the reflective sunset off of the water and clouds.  The changing seasons and every-changing cloud formations provide endless artistic inspiration for her, and she finds watercolor to be the perfect medium to express her love for the environment.

Christine studied painting at The Boston Museum School where she became familiar with the works of  Winslow Homer, Charles Burchfield and Edward Hopper, who still inspire her with theri expressive brushstrokes and masterful use of color.;  Upon completing her studies, Black lived and painted on Nantucket Island for ten years before moving to the Keys.  She returns there as often as possible and also enjoys traveling the world where she is especially drawn to coastal towns and exotic islands.
