Christine Beard is a figurative contemporary artist.
An emerging artist, Christine makes use of the watercolour medium. Rather than seeking out unique or original subject matters, Christine aims to avail the mundane and usual in her pieces.
She chases after all the magic, light and colour that watercolour paint is capable of providing. Her work offers vibrant colours and strong contrasting tones that will delight any interior designer, decorator or collector. Whether its an interior, or an urban setting or something featuring the sea and a beach, she tries to feature people basked in light and colour. Her pieces aim to be at least the perfect complement to decorate the home and at best a vehicle that evokes memories of way back when for those compiling their own private art collection.
Painting people (men, women, children, families, groups of people) is her passion. Capturing them doing something/nothing/anything in that single moment in time is special, she thinks. It triggers the memory and when viewed later, we remember where we were and how we felt...
Her work has been seen in art shows and exhibited by the VAN GOGH Art Gallery, Madrid.
Christine was a top UK lawyer for over 20 years before she emigrated to Australia. She has lived in Sydney for 15 years plus. These days not only is she a professional artist but also she has a successful practice as an Executive and Business Coach.
