Christina Heiniger
Cantaloupe 2, watercolor & mixed media, 2004, $275 
Born in Switzerland and raised in Coastal Maine, Christina Heiniger uses a delightfully unusual blend of influences in her artwork. Her bold, cheerful and uplifting use of color is inspired in part by European painters such as Henri Matisse and Josef Albers, in part by the bright and fearless use of color in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and in part from her lifelong fascination with all the hues in her paintbox. Similar in spirit to the work of Paul Klee (also a Swiss-born artist), Christina's art is based in a playful and inventive use of materials and design. Yet Christinašs artwork bears her own highly unique and distinctive hand. Circles and dots lightheartedly adorn many of her sculptures and paintings. Never limiting her artwork, Christina explores many subjects, themes and materials... while always creating work based in strong design, saturated color and a graceful deftness with the materials and tools of her trade.
