ARTIST STATEMENT
This painting of an oak tree seedling was featured a few years ago during Yorkfest on the poster and postcards.
ARTIST BIO
Christine Mercer-Vernon is a contemporary painter living and working in York, Pennsylvania. Motivated by the beauty of nature, her paintings capture glimpses of fleeting moments. Visual reminders, not of beauty, but that nature is energetic, ever-changing, and impermanent-hopeful and symbolic reminders that we should live in the moment, no matter how brief it may be.
ARTIST BIO
Christine is a contemporary American artist whose works are inspired by nature and our connection to it. She began her career as a textbook illustrator, creating artwork for elementary, high school, college and medical textbooks.
Her work has been shown in galleries throughout the east coast and she is a member of the American Women Artists non-profit organization. She has studied with several gifted artists and instructors, such as Jon DeMartin, Carlo Russo and Lisa Gloria.
"I have a deep connection to nature. It's where I feel most at peace. Nature is an endless source of inspiration in my work. Whether it's finding joy in flowers, or in awe of a vast landscape, I aim to express those feelings in my paintings. Exploring our connection to the natural world and our desire to seek out hidden meanings and inspirations I like to combine storytelling with minimalism and movement."
