Christine Knight Coombs, American.Coombs began her art education at age six. She studied with many private teachers en route to the Rhode Island School of Design and Syracuse University School of Art. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, and can be found in private, corporate and government collections, including those of Kirsty Alley, Parker Stevenson, Maine Times owner and circumnavigator Dodge Morgan, and Maureen and Robert Rothschild. Coombs has also illustrated two childrens' books, Orphan and Good Companions, written by Era Zistel. To quote the artist, "I enjoy composing the elements of light, color, and form into something that elicits not only an emotional response, but calls to the most subtle level of the psyche. The messages I offer in my paintings are simple and common to all of us, but they are also the ones we need to be most reminded of in our busy lives."
