Christine Sparks was born and raised in Port Alberni, British Columbia. While being surrounded by the natural beauty of Vancouver Island, Christine began to explore her artistic abilities by the age of 4, while on outings with her grandparents. In her early years, she drew mostly people and dogs. Throughout her teens, she concentrated on drawing mainly people, while her Grandma would critique her. Which improved her art and creativity.  During high school, her art teacher said that she was above her peers and offered to teach her new techniques.

Christine enjoys making people happy with her art. Especially when she happens to create something that looks like a family’s pet or a significant flower. Since she started painting only 4 years ago, her art continues to progress and improve. Today, Christine is motivated to do her artwork in front of her two children to show them that when you enjoy and are passionate about what you do, you will continue with what you enjoy!

Christine lives and works on Vancouver Island as an artist as well as a children’s educator. She currently sells her art at the Grove gallery, as well as on her personal website. You can also get updates and view more of her work on her Facebook page.
