Christine is a textile artist based on Australia’s east coast, working primarily in knitting and weaving.
Her knitwear designs have been exhibited at Vogue Knitting Live in New York and published in Vogue Knitting, Yarn, Clotheshorse, and I Like Knitting magazines.
She began weaving in 2009 on a rigid heddle loom and now works across a range of table and floor looms. Despite this expansion, her practice remains grounded in an intuitive, expressive approach.
Through considered use of colour and texture, Christine creates tactile, often wearable works that invite close engagement.
