In all of my art, the
observer is my utmost concern. I strive to stir emotion. My desire is for the
viewer to experience the serenity of the landscape, the splendor of a bird, the
richness in a flower.

 Christine
Reichow, NWS |
Growing up in rural Michigan, Christine developed a love of
nature. At an early age, her father taught her to observe the nesting birds and
to identify their individual melodic warbling. The name of each tree, plant and
flower became familiar to her as a result of her father's
influence.
Christine was inspired by her mother, a lifelong artist, to
study art and design. She chose to major in clothing and textiles at Michigan
State University, and created hand-dyed and hand-woven pieces using natural
textiles.

Upon
completion of her studies, she continued to be an active member of the Michigan
Weavers Guild and began painting on silk to create one-of-a-kind clothing. Her
unique "wearable art" was diplayed in prestigious boutiques from Detroit to New
York. She opened her own boutique in Howell, Michigan where she sold her art
pieces along with other artists work for ten successful
years.
Christine
moved from Michigan to Florida where the wonders of nature inspired her to
paint. With the ability to blend colors and create luminosity, watercolor
became her medium of choice to showcase Florida's natural
beauty.
Christine
is a member of the American Watercolor Society, Florida Watercolor Society,
Watercolor West, Transparent Watercolor Society, and Signature member of the
National Watercolor Society.
Christines art has appeared in numerous publications and
on the covers of Watercolor Magic, Sunshine Artist, Florida Womens Digest
and Natural Awakenings. She was a finalist in Watercolor Magazines 2006
competition, North Light Books 2006 competition, and Watercolor Magic's 2007
Online Competition, winning both 1st Place and Honorable Mention.
She has been
featured in The Artist's Magazine, Bonita Living, and Passionate Brush
Strokes/Splash 10 published by North Light Books.
Her work is showcased in collections
at: Bears Paw
Clubhouse, Naples, Florida Shadow Wood Preserve Clubhouse, Fort Myers,
Florida Monarch Beach
Hotel, Santa Monica, California
Christine's fine art can be seen at Audubon's Corkscrew Swamp
Sanctuary in Naples, Wild Child Art Gallery in Matlacha, and several fine art
