My most Favourited Artwork – TwoHands…Charcoal on Paper…
Christine Betts is a Gold Coast based artist, mother and wife. Mostly self taught, Christine is an emerging artist with interests and subject matter ranging from Travel, Architecture and Tourism. Influenced by the work of Edward Hopper and Jeffrey Smart, she is fascinated by light and shadow.
Art history is a continuing source of fascination with a love for a wide range of artists and styles such as Monet, Modigliani, Picasso, Rothko, Kahlo, Crossington-Smith, Margaret Preston, Michael Zavros, Tracey Emin, Fiona Hall, Gordon Bennet….and many others. Christine prefers realism but has recently discovered a talent for finding the abstract within landscapes and water.
I love Architecture. I love Photography. But painting is my true love.
