After a successful career doing something very far removed from art - I decided it was time for a change. I took a course at the Art Gallery of Ontario and found my true passion was painting. I continued training and found my creative joy in both painting and printing.

Figurative work is central to my art. My visual pieces are a reflection of what is germane in my life and therefore revolve around the evolution of spirituality, the search for meaning, the practice of yoga - and especially women and their diverse manifestations of beauty.

I am fascinated by the interaction between the written word and visual images - much of my work examines the energy that occurs when poetry and art connect - art that moves.

I also feel blessed to have worked extensively with children on large scale outdoor art projects. Bringing the joy and spontaneity of kid's creativity to life - besides being intensely satisfying - adds playful energy to my own art. I am very thankful for these opportunities to help students enhance their playgrounds and drab public school hallways.

In addition to the original paintings and prints on this site, I have a successful line of greeting cards - you can  order and view card samples by clicking on greeting cards.

I have recently begun to produce silk-screened images as both wearable art and in home decor items, some of which are available on this site. If you would prefer to pay through PayPal you will be re-directed throughout this site or you can do the same by clicking on http://ArtThatMoves.etsy.com now.

Thank you for taking the time to look through the images of my work.

Blessings,

Christine Pensa
