Christine Bent
Painter
Bio
Christine Bent is a self taught multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. Her work spans from digital art to mixed media wood and wire, with abstract paintings being the most prevalent.
Christine was raised in Queens, NY by parents of Jamaican and Filipino descent, where cultural vibrancy and 80’s street art were intrinsic to her childhood experience. Her spiritual upbringing, study of Geography and math, as well as love of travel, music and nature inspires her use of colors, patterns and shapes throughout her paintings. In 2005, Christine began her career as a digital cartographer using aerial photography and terrain models to make maps, and now considers herself a “data” visualist. Since then her relationship with art has evolved from data to emotionally driven, mainly focused around her creative process.
