Christina Lovering is a nature artist and educator in the northwest Chicago suburbs of Illinois. Through a wide array of mediums such as watercolor, pen and ink, graphite, gouache, acrylic, collage, and assemblage, Christina's work reflects her deep reverence for the intricacies of the natural world. Beyond capturing the everyday beauty of life, she delves into the narratives of nature's resilience in the face of human-induced environmental shifts, exploring the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the Earth.
Additionally, she embarks on a captivating exploration of romantic love, informed by the fascinating realms of neurobiology and anthropology. This thematic evolution has culminated in her series spotlighting lovebirds, emblematic of monogamous bonds in the avian world.
Through her art making and teaching, she continues to promote an appreciation for the beauty and interconnectedness of our natural surroundings.
