“There’s something universally human about our affinity for nature. Whether it’s open spaces, rolling hills, soaring peaks, or rushing water, I find myself easily lost in the peace that a sense of place creates. My goal is to tap into those elements. To bring the light, movement, and calm home.”

About
Christine Garrison is an artist and visual arts instructor whose work is rooted in a deep sense of place and the restorative calm of natural environments. Now based in Western Montana, she draws inspiration from the region’s sweeping landscapes, quiet rivers, and the grounding presence of water, an enduring focus in her painting practice. A native of Oregon’s Willamette Valley with years spent in Minnesota and New England, Christine’s current work reflects her continued exploration of belonging, memory, and the way land and water shape how we see ourselves in the world.
Christine holds a Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art and Arts Education from Saint Olaf College and a Graduate Degree in Arts Education from Boston University, where she completed drawing and painting coursework in Venice, Italy. Alongside her studio practice, she has taught secondary visual arts for nearly two decades in Minnesota, Oregon, and New Hampshire.
