Canadian artist Christine Crawford lives in Victoria, B.C. Her choice of medium is watercolour. Although she has found this medium to be very challenging, she decided to persevere, learn to relax, and enjoy its unpredictability. She likes using translucent watercolors applied in many layers that allows her to paint strong colors. With her love of animals, this is one of her favourite subjects to paint. Feeling more confident in where she has come with her painting, she would like to begin sharing her work with others.
"PAINTING THE WORLD WITH LOVE"
Within each of her paintings you will find a heart. Seek out the heart not merely as a shape, but as a beacon of love, compassion, and empathy. The heart in her artwork is a reminder that amidst the noise and division of our times, a simple symbol can call us back to our shared humanity. We are all here on this planet to shine our unique stars, but somewhere along the way, we’ve lost sight of the light we can bring to one another. Through her art, she hopes to reignite this connection, reminding us that love is at the core of who we are and who we can be. Let’s come together, one heart at a time, and rediscover what it means to truly be one.
