About the Artist

Christine McBryan is a New York City-based oil painter whose work explores the intersections of portraiture, landscapes and memory. Working from life and her own photographs, she creates paintings that show fleeting moments, translating them into something more permanent. Her work examines the shifting relationships between people and places, and how mood, perception and personal history inform what we see.
