Recently married, Christina Long is now signing her work as Christina Baker. Inspired by life’s ever-changing
environment, self-taught artist Christina has chosen acrylics as her medium of choice and picks up additional
elements of mixed media when the desire arises. These competing elements bring the original life you can see in her
work which Christina calls “extremely intuitive.” Christina prefers to work mostly in the abstract and impressionist
genres, and she enjoys the challenge of creating harmony between styles that most would consider noncomplimentary.
“I’m a big fan of anything cross-over, so I tend to apply this attraction to my work.”
Her ability to find synthesis between the use of traditional artist materials, while keeping a hand in a contemporary
style, creates her unique and esthetically pleasing technique.
