\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0I\u00a0grew up in New Jersey with a\u00a0 family that said, \u201cYes, Christina has Cerebral Palsy and Dyslexia. So..?\u201d\u00a0 Life has been a fine balance between knowing what I want to do and knowing what I can do.<\/p>\n

My higher education started with an Associate degree in Art from Landmark College in VT. It has ended for now with a Master of Fine Arts \/ Museum Studies Certificate from Tufts University in affiliation with the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In between I earned a Professional Photographer Certificate from Hallmark Institute of Photography, Turners Falls, MA and a Bachelor of Fine Arts \/ Photography Concentration from The Art Institute of Boston, Boston MA.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I have worked with museums in Boston educating people about art as well as preserving archival photographs.\u00a0 My real passion is in teaching. I have been a Visiting Artist at the University of\u00a0 Pittsburgh on the Bradford campus in Bradford PA. Where I have delivered presentations and lecture about my artwork. I have Work with students to create a public art project for the gallery. \u00a0I been a Visiting Artist at\u00a0 <\/span>Stanford University in Stanford CA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My interest in the nature of the human form comes from living with Cerebral Palsy. I look at my body. Then I look at other people\u2019s bodies to see how they move through physical and intellectual spaces differently than someone who does not have to consciously control every step.<\/p>\n

I currently live in Somerville, MA.\u00a0 My studio is at the Mad Oyster Studios, Somerville, MA.<\/p>\n
