Each Painting Begins in the Garden
The flowers in Christine's paintings are grown in her own pollinator-friendly garden, where she observes them from seedling through bloom and eventual seed. The garden is not separate from the studio practice—it is where each painting begins.

Fine Art Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Hemp Paper
~ Open Edition
Painted using a limited palette developed specifically for rendering natural bone, Cranium, Facing Right is part of my long-standing exploration of form, structure, and impermanence. The skull is neither symbolic nor dramatic—it is observed carefully, treated as a quiet object shaped by time.
The restrained color choices and measured brushwork emphasize subtle shifts in surface and shadow, drawing attention to structure rather than narrative. This piece reflects my belief that meaning can exist without explanation—and that some forms hold presence simply by being looked at slowly.
Printed on eco-friendly Hahnemühle Hemp paper, the texture enhances the sense of materiality and weight, making this print well-suited for collectors drawn to contemplative, enduring imagery.

Fine Art Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Hemp Paper
~ Open Edition
Spring Elation, fine art giclée print celebrates spring daffodils in all their unfolding stages — from hopeful bud to radiant bloom to graceful fade. Quiet narrative elements — a graphite bumblebee, a small ant, a delicate spiderweb — are layered gently into the composition, echoing the garden’s vibrant rhythm without overtaking the flowers themselves. The result is a still life that carries emotional depth and the simple, universal joy of renewal.
Printed on durable, eco-friendly heavy-weight Hahnemühle Hemp paper with a museum-quality border for framing.

Fine Art Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Hemp Paper
~ Open Edition
Kitten captures a suspended moment between delicacy and expression—a kitten skull held by a burgundy ribbon, a cosmo bloom tucked like a quiet secret between bone and string. The textured ground, built in layered shades of pink, carries an unexpected sense of joy and softness, revealing depth only when you slow down to look.
The visible surface texture and limited palette echo my design roots—clarity, restraint, and intentional composition—balanced with painterly looseness that keeps the work human and alive. The result is a small but expressive piece for collectors who appreciate images that reward curiosity, tenderness, and story.
Printed on heavy-duty Hahnemühle Hemp paper, its soft natural surface complements the subject, reinforcing the fragility and quiet celebration at the heart of the work.

Stories within the Bones
For more than twenty years, Christine has studied animal skulls and bones from life, using drawing and painting to explore the stories held within each specimen.
From intimate studies to narrative still lifes and suspended wishbones, four distinct collections examine different conversations with nature—impermanence, memory, hope, and the human experience.
“My floral paintings aren’t really about flowers and my skull paintings aren’t really about bones.
Somewhere between life and death sits the human experience.
Through nature I seek to understand it.”
– Christine Mercer-Vernon
