Christina’s artwork is an exploration of color, texture, and the wonders of exotic flora and fauna. Considering birds, flowers, and fish as natural objects of both beauty and mystique, she celebrates their unique forms with bold colors and painted texture on canvas. Following her fascinations freely, she studies nature with a curious eye and through painting she aims to highlight the awe she finds and share it with her audience. She loves to inspire joy and wonder and remind her audience to have fun and not be afraid of color. Working with both acrylic and watercolor, Christina finds the process of painting with bright colors and interesting shapes an expression of personal freedom and sees her journey as a painter to be a passionate, unrestricted, lifelong education.

A BFA in Apparel Design at the Rhode Island School of Design and 17 years of professional experience as a fashion designer has fed Christina’s fine art practice with a design-minded process and a love of creating nuanced and thoughtful color palettes within each painting as well as utilizing different techniques of painting to capture wild and whimsical subject matters. Christina displays and sells her work online at www.studiodifabioart.com and at juried art shows across New England. She also creates commissioned artwork.
