"Self Portrait", Oil on Canvas, 2017

Christina’s passion for illustration and design began at a very early age. Starting at the age of fourteen, Christina auditioned and was accepted into the prestigious Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA) in Santa Ana, CA.

The knowledge and experience Christina gained at OCSA moved her across the country to New York’s world-renowned fashion university, Parsons.  A fashion design major, now living in Manhattan, Christina immersed herself in the city’s fashion and art scene. 

After studying under New York’s top professionals, Christina moved back to Southern California to pursue her true passion as a professional illustrator. The experience she gained at Parsons led her to the private university, Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD), where she studied Illustration under fine art and illustration professionals. 

Her body of work includes children’s books, gallery pieces, CD covers, custom jacket designs, music festival posters, and an original mural for the LA office of the luxury jacket brand, Mighty Co. 

She is currently illustrating a children’s book series and selling original artworks and prints as well. 

She lives and works in Los Angeles, CA with her daughter and husband.
