Christine grew up in the Chicago
suburbs back when there were still corn
fields between the towns. She and her
sister, their cousins, and the
neighborhood kids explored in the
woods, hung from swing sets, and
pretended in basements. To the left is a
family portrait Christine drew when she
was four, and below is a drawing of a
horse she made when she was seven.

In school, Christine's favorite subject was always art.
Eventually she studied art education in college, taking
fun, challenging classes where she learned how to make
her own art and also teach art to children. Above is one
of Christine's drawings from college. After college
Christine became an elementary school art teacher.
