Christine Flanagan

I graduated with a degree in Art Education from Georgian Court University, New Jersey, preparing me to teach Art in New York, New Jersey and Florida. I am retired from teaching 2-D Art at Suwannee High School, Live Oak, FL.

Although I taught many different mediums, my favorite is colored pencil. My interest in vernacular architecture has led me to draw many of the older homes and buildings in rural towns of the South. I tend to draw the subject matter from a different point of view, and prefer to isolate an interesting component of the buildings. The reflections in the windows often create an abstracted version of the world beyond; letting the viewer see both inside and out.

I am a Five Year Signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, former President and currently Vice-President of District Chapter 113, Gainesville, FL.
