About: Artist Christine Patterson

B.A., Eckerd College, 1984

Since 1991 Christine Patterson has been very active in the photography world. She has traveled throughout the United States and Europe producing a wide body of work, featuring architecture to street scenes, landscapes to intimate pathways. Primarily working in black and white and black and white infrared, her photographic images have evolved from a signature hand-coloring technique to a new mixed media concept of photographs printed on marble panels. Today, she continues to enjoy working in mixed media involving a variety of subject matter.

"Ordinary moments that on the surface appear quite mundane, yet whose images are suspended and etched in our minds and preserved forever. These dramatic and special moments in time are less than one percent of our lives. They are fleeting like the grains of sand falling through the narrow waist of an hourglass. Yet even the most ordinary of moments can be a path to finding hidden pieces of ourselves. "

"The mystery of time is that the more we try to control it, the more of it we lose. Time, like life, is an extraordinary gift . . . meant to be experienced, not understood; lived and not lost. "
