Christine Aaron is a printmaker and mixed-media artist whose work explores the fragility and resilience of human nature, memory, and the natural world.  Drawing upon personal experiences, as well as a prior career as a therapist, she has developed a visual vocabulary for representing the past, and the ways in which the eye, heart, and mind transform the past through memory and loss.  Her technique consists of layering representational images over language and abstract texture, and she employs a sophisticated combination of printmaking, rusting metal, and encaustic processes.  The resulting artworks evoke emotion, imply a sense of depth and recollection, and conjure hidden meaning from within otherwise concrete imagery and symbols.

 

Aaron’s award-winning artwork has been exhibited widely at museums and galleries including New York’s Pen and Brush Galleries (Manhattan), Gallery 928 (Manhattan), Northern Westchester Center for the Arts (Mt. Kisco), Pelham Arts Center (Pelham), Mamaroneck Artists’ Guild (Larchmont), Westchester Community College (Valhalla), Iona College (New Rochelle) and Barrett Art Center (Poughkeepsie).  In Connecticut, she has been featured at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Norwalk), Flinn Gallery (Greenwich), Bendheim Gallery (Greenwich), Silvermine Guild of Artists (New Canaan), Ridgefield Guild of Artists (Ridgefield); and in New Jersey at the Hunterdon Museum of Art (Clinton).
