About Christine D. :
Christine D. Crosheck is a artist with a visual impairment that gives her a unique perspective on the world. She has been obsessed with beauty as far back as she can remember. She has a congenital condition that prevents her from having binocular vision, and makes everything blurry when she tries to focus both eyes at the same time. She has learned to be grateful for the trials she has faced because they taught her how to pay attention to light changes, shadows, lines, shapes, colors, textures. She brings awareness of those elements to her art. Having a visual impairment along with a desire to find and celebrate beauty is a bit ironic. But it is a primary focus in her life, and she loves to share it with others. Furthermore, her trials have only furthered her desire to create beautiful things, and come up with creative out-of-the-box solutions when needed.
Artist’s statement:
There is something about the way light bathes its surroundings, the shapes stack, the angles conspire, and lines converge that brings me to suck in my breath and expel it all at once when I find something beautiful. Then I want to share it with the world. I am ecstatic about drawing with colored pencils, and I find it fun to play with paint. The creative process itself captivates me….The endeavor of creating something unique makes me feel fully alive! I can't imagine trying to shut out this drive that makes me yearn to find, create, and unveil one of a kind things.
More about Christine:
Christine was always a doodler, filling up the margins of her school paperwork with drawings. A divorce put her back in college, where she rediscovered her love of doodling. She began drawing once again. She tells this story that reflects her love of art: I have a distinct memory of being a wee little thing, standing underneath the birch trees with their peeling bark when my grandmother brought me a big, brand new box of crayons. I had never seen a box of crayons that big before! It had 64 colors, with a built-in sharpener. When I opened it a fragrance wafted out. As I pulled out the crayons one by one, I can still recall how fascinated I was with the names and the different colors, thinking, "Ahh, this is what Mulberry and Magenta look like!" Even the names sound pretty. I discovered that Midnight Blue was different from Turquoise Blue, but both were shades of blue. I loved them all…. I have loved art, language and color ever since. Art has been with us since the first caveman drew on the cave wall. Art helps tell the story that surrounds us. It has followed us from the beginning of time and will continue to follow us to the very end. it changes over time. It is ever evolving much like the human soul. If you see something that speaks to your soul, let me know if you would like to purchase it. I enjoy helping others decorate their homes and offices. Everyone should have a beautiful backdrop for their life. -Christine D.
