About Christina

woman standing near house

An art consultant with a maker's eye, a curatorial mind, and over a decade of exhibited and collected work.

Originally trained as a textile artist and lecturer, Christina brings a maker's understanding of how work is made, and a curator's instinct for how it should live in a space, to every project. That background shapes how she works now; she's not advising from the outside, she's spent years in the studio herself.

Today, she works with private clients, collectors, and organisations to source, commission, and deliver art that's truly right for the space, the people, and the long term; from single acquisitions to large-scale commissioning programmes. She's drawn to work with a strong sense of place, and to projects where art does more than decorate.
