Dog in the Afterlife (2022) Painting by Christina Bug

Christina is best known for painting in acrylics and creating mixed media artworks on canvas, in bold striking designs. Some mixed media works are 3 dimensional and include a variety of materials including sand, foil, resin, gesso, glitter, feathers, gravel, shells and recycled packaging or maps. Key themes in her artwork include; nature, diversity, additional needs and wellbeing. She is inspired by her garden and what she sees in the local environment. Christina likes to experiment with different ways of mark making, beyond using a paintbrush. She is forever exploring different materials and techniques to create unique expressionistic, semi-abstract pieces which reflect a need for diversity and individuality in the world. Christina grew up on a farm in a small hamlet in Suffolk. She has always enjoyed being creative from a young age, cooking, drawing and playing the violin as a child. Christina has many years of experience caring for those with disabilities. Some of her work has a link to the autism spectrum. Future projects will have a strong focus on her local area, awareness of learning difficulties and problems relating to dietary needs of those who have allergies or sensory processing difficulties.
