The Artist:
Christine Lashley's love for nature shows in her work. Swirling water; glowing, sun-dappled rocks; exuberant florals — her paintings celebrate the diversity and wonder of nature. Watercolor has been her medium of choice for many years. Ms. Lashley earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Washington University in St. Louis with previous studies at the Sorbonne, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, and the Parsons Art Institute in Paris, France. Her watercolors and painting style were featured twice in American Artist Magazine.
