Christine Olmstead
Christine Olmstead is an abstract artist.
Christine’s works are abstract, mixed media paintings. Her work focuses on synesthesia, movement, mood, and the use of color, metallic, and reflective elements to convey energy and story. Christine’s paintings are conceptual in nature focusing on healing, seeking peace, restoring painful memories and infusing light and beauty into her work.
Christine sees color when she hears music. She paints the colors and movements that are swirling in her mind, combined with the emotion of the chosen memory or experience. Christine paints the mood of these combined elements. Wrestling with each concept, she is determined to find beauty and peace in each experience. It is with those guiding metrics that she sifts through sound, synesthesia, memories, social pitfalls, human experiences and more as she seeks to infuse light and guiding peace into these spaces.
