Christina Strok
Born in El Salvador in 1982, Christina was adopted as an orphan at the age of one year, and raised in Ohio in a log cabin on ten acres of farmland. She was surrounded by farm animals and nature, and was strongly influenced by her scientist father and photographer/artist mother to learn to draw. Thus began a life-long interest in drawing, architecture, interior design, and designing web sites. Christina currently works in her home studio. Inspired by poetry, music, and writing stories, she never sketches beforehand, but rather improvises as she draws. Very strong willed and focused, she hopes to be the next art movement. Her motto is “Grandiose thoughts are always there.”
There will be an opening reception from 12 to 2:30 p.m. in Forbes Hall on Sunday, April 7. The closing reception is at Noon on April 28.
