Christine Myhr

Oil Painting and Watercolor


Christine Myhr graduated with a B.A. in Art from Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Mn. She had the unique opportunity to study abroad at the Marchutz School of Drawing and Painting in Aix-en-Provence, France. It was there she learned how to paint with watercolor and oil, working from still life, model and landscape spending a year immersed in the light and color of Provence. She was introduced to painting en plein air in the French countryside carrying a portable easel and market basket.

Now, Christine finds inspiration by the distant bluffs and rural scenes of Southwest Wisconsin where she has lived for the past thirty years. Painting the beauty of the natural world capturing the light, shadow and color of this place she calls home.
