The Trippe Gallery

 Christine Lashley's art is an emphemeral moment captured within a frame — a synthesis of the ambiance she has painted in person and the limitless creativity within her studio. From glittering pristine waterways to the glass reflections in cities, Christine is fascinated how transparency and light can abstract a scene and transport the viewer to a new environment. 

 Christine has been involved in the arts all her life, with early years sketching outdoors and watching her mother and grandmother create sculpture. She spent several years in the high fashion world of Europe, and then worked in graphic design and creating murals. Since moving from watercolors to oils in 2010, her work has won awards for both landscape and portrait work. Recent top awards were the ARC Salon (Plein Air), Bold Brush Award, Best Landscape at the 27th Oil Painters of America National Show, and Best Body of Work at Telluride Plein Air. Numerous awards at juried and invitational Plein Air events include the Grand Prize at Plein Air Texas, Best of Show at Bath County Plien Air, and Second Place at Easton Plein Air. Christine's art has been featured in many articles, publications and media, including the cover of Plein Air Magazine.

Christine has exhibited in museums and galleries nationally with numerous solo shows and curated group events. She is a frequent participant in top plein air events such as Plein Air Telluride, Door County, Easton, and Cape Ann.

With a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis and prior study at the Sorbonne and Parsons in Paris; Christine continued her art education with workshops from prominent artists.
