Christine believes that art and science can be gateways to each other, as each discipline can entice students of all ages to become fascinated with the other. Students with artist's block overcome their fears as they get lost in the process of drawing the intriguing forms of a carnivorous plant. While those stronger in science, find a greater appreciation for the natural world as they spend time observing a seashell or animal skull in order to create an accurate drawing.

Ever since childhood, Christine has loved sketching the beauty around her. She further developed her drawing skills in school, and in her science classes,found that the time spent making detailed drawings of the subjects she was studying was the best way for her, as a visual learner, to understand the structures and functions of those organisms. This realization led her to develop her philosophy of teaching that she now employs. She is known for her dynamic presentations, high quality art and science materials and hands-on approach.

Christine believes that each adult has the responsibility to pass on what knowledge they have to the next generation to inspire them to love and protect mother earth.
