Christine was born in Newport where she went to
St Julians High School. She attended University
of Hull where she
graduated with a Bachelor of Arts honours degree. Christine then started
training as a computer programmer with the Business Statistics Office (Tredegar Park) and married her husband whilst she
was working there. Christine stayed with the BSO for four years until she moved

with her husband, where she got a job as an analyst programmer. During her 21

She returned to the UK in 2002 and she

How long have you been a member of Torfaen Art
Factory?
I have been with the Art
Factory for approximately five years.
How would you describe
your artwork/style?
My style is
photography/Photoshop. I particularly like what I call natural photography and
I enjoy manipulating images to bring out the best as well as combining multiple
photographs to create montages. I am also very interested in the restoration of
old, damaged photographs.
What/who are your main
influences and how do you see your work progressing?
My main influence has
been Photoshop. I draw inspiration from nature and my surroundings often
finding interesting subjects very close to home. It takes an experienced eye to
seek out good photographic opportunities as well as new ways of presenting
ideas in interesting and creative pictures and I would very much like to
continue to develop my Photography and Photoshop skills.
