If you’ve been reading Artsy Forager long, you’ve seen me gush about the work of this month’s Facebook Featured Artist, Christina Foard. Christina is an artist whose work is as much about her mental and spiritual journey of creating as it is about the physical result of paint on canvas.
Each canvas is a labor of intense devotion, worked and reworked until the artist is satisfied with her destination.
As she works the canvas, adding layer upon layer or excavating what lies beneath, the resulting textures become a large part of the story, until the composition she is longing for emerges.
To see more of Christina Foard’s work, please visit her website and be sure to check out her album on the Artsy Forager Facebook page! If you’re near the Jacksonville, FL area, you can still catch Christina’s show with July Featured Artist Thomas Hager at the Jacksonville International Airport, but only until the end of September. She’s currently working on a special long-term collaborative project I hope to share with you once she’s ready. Stay tuned.

Wonderful colors !
For some reason these paintings make me remind of some landscapes Egon Schiele made.
Love that comparison, Olivier!
Very cool style to these works.
One of the things I love most about Christina’s work is that her painting style is always consistent. She has her own visual language.
