Christine Hingston

In Australia I am inspired by those iconic colours of blue skies, red dusty soil and hot summer days at the beach.
Unless I am away from my studio I work every day. I don’t wait for inspiration, I go to my easel and find it on a canvas.
I use many techniques and materials in my paintings including oil and acrylic paint, rust paint and charcoal, gold leaf and collage.
Some paintings happen fast and some take time and are put aside to consider and come back to at a later time.
More recently I have had the opportunity to indulge my passion for ceramics working with stone wear clay and firing in gas and soda and wood fired kilns. I love the way that my painting will inspire my ceramic and the wonderful, sometimes unexpected results in my ceramics that inspire my abstract paintings.
I am represented by Yallingup Gallery in Yallingup, Black Stump Gallery in Broome and Artopia Gallery in Kununurra.
My art is my life.
