Always drawn back to the visual arts,
Christine moved to Maui in 1995 with her husband, sculptor, Steve Turnbull where he shared a studio with
his uncle, Master Sculptor, Bruce Turnbull. Surrounded by sculpture, Christine apprenticed in stone and
woodcarving, but was still brought back to her desire to work with clay. Finding a mentor, Christine
studied under the tutelage of renowned artist and realist sculptor, Anna Good.
Christine works in clay. metal and wood. She casts her pieces in bronze from her clay
maquettes.
The artist speaks about her work:
"When working in various mediums, clay seemed to come alive for me. Always working
with my hands made it a natural step for me to transfer to clay. Touch has become my favorite sense.
It's exciting to watch a sculpture come alive when adding expression and movement. It's like another being
has entered the room."
This resident of North-shore Maui has created sculptures that
have found their way to private and corporate collections in Hawaii and
across the United States.
