THE ARTIST

Christina was born in Bangkok, Thailand. When she was 3, she flew to Canada where she was introduced to Barbie and Lego... and have never left the country since. Such toys were the source of her creativity as a child.

In 2007, Christina graduated with a BAA Illustration degree at Sheridan College and since, have illustrated for several editorial publications and commercial clients across North America. Her works appears in group exhibitions and have achieved recognition in both Communication Arts & Applied Arts award annuals.

Christina images are geared towards young adults with themes relating to lifestyle, fashion, people and social expressions. Influences from pop culture, vintage prints and posters and graffiti street arts to Japanese Woodblocks are expressed in her colour palettes and brush strokes. Besides illustrating, she also enjoys chocolate, cheesy romantic comedies, and playing outdoors.
