Born in Blackburn, Lancashire, she attended both Wolverhampton and Manchester Colleges of Art, studying graphic design and specialising in illustration. She worked freelance for several years both as an illustrator and a figurative artist. Several one-woman exhibitions of her work were held at public and private art galleries throughout the UK, including Harrods. In 1993 she designed the Isle of Man Christmas Stamps and a founded her own design company. Its success enabled her to create and develop several exclusive brands including Faerie Poppets, Paintbox Poppets, Angel Whispers and Dream Tide. These were successfully licensed to major fine art companies. Christine also started the Crisalis Collectors Club in 1999 to sell her licensed work. In 2003 she created the costumes for the Royal Ballet’s production of Cinderella. Her work is figurative and includes themes of nostalgia, such as fairy’s, angels, mystical subjects and classical costume.
