ABOUT
Christine Gagne is a self-taught Canadian Artist. She has been creating unique, beautiful art for over 25 years. She uses her painting as a form of her own self therapy. The calming and serene feelings reflect in her artwork. She has witnessed many tragedies throughout her own life and finds painting as a way of coping. Her heart is made of gold as many of her paintings from her past were for loved ones who've passed on. In the past 25 years she visited Algonquin Park and developed a love for the great outdoors while studying the beautiful wildlife.
In the past she's used many mediums such as pencil, charcoal, chalk, ink, clay, water colours, oils, and her choice of medium now acrylics. You'll be pleased to see her past artwork on unique items such as feathers, leaves, rocks, shale, saws, emu eggs, wood, shells and more unique items.
Many artists influenced and inspired her over the years such as Robert Bateman, Renoir, Monet, Ken Danby, the Group of 7 and Bob Ross.
