Christine Siebels-Brandsma is best known for her fine art skills in pencil portraits and acrylic paintings and also for her graphic design skills in logos, sign and print layout.
She has been a graphic designer professionally since 2005 specializing in signs and marketing materials. Christine gained an Associates in Graphic Design and Multimedia at Westwood College in 2005.
If one could put Christine's art into a category, she suggests "alternative contemporary".
Artists that influence her work are Vincent van Gogh (especially), Berthe Marisot, Edward Hopper, Sally Mann, Edgar Degas... she loves art history to the point that she would include 100 more inspirational artists if she could. Christine grew up with an artistic mother and sister that helped her get into art at a very young age. She believes art is making something be an expression of you, your thoughts, dreams, and/or what and how you see the world. Art helps humanity.
Christine likes to use Illustrator, Photoshop, pencils, cameras, and acrylics to make her designs and artwork. She has dabbled in pastels, colored pencils, watercolor, batik, intaglio, and sculpture. She wants her designs to be enticing and her fine art to be enjoyed. Christine Siebels-Brandsma hails from Westminster, Colorado, a transport from Iowa.
