About
art that remembers
art that moves
art that connects
​
I’m Christine Tomlinson, an interdisciplinary artist based in Hope, British Columbia. My practice brings together watercolour, sculpture, installation, photography and experimental art to explore memory, emotion, movement and our connection to place.
I am inspired by landscapes, personal stories and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. Through natural materials, layered imagery and atmospheric colour, I create work that reflects on how experiences are carried, remembered and transformed.
​
My work moves between the intimate and the immersive—from delicate watercolour landscapes to sculptural figures and installations that invite viewers to slow down and become part of the experience. Across each medium, I am interested in creating space for reflection, connection and healing.
Each piece begins with listening: to a place, a material, a memory or a feeling. From there, the work develops through experimentation and intuition, becoming a bridge between something personal and something shared.

themes that inspire my work
Story & Memory
I honour personal and collective stories through material, movement and sound.
nature & material
Sound & movement
Connection
The natural world grounds my practice and inspires connection, reflection and belonging.
I explore rhythm, voice and physical movement as ways of carrying emotion and memory.
I create spaces for vulnerability, shared experience and meaningful connection.
Art is not just what we see—it is what we feel, remember and become.
My Artistic Practice
My practice moves between watercolour, acrylic, sculpture, photography and time-based art. I choose each medium according to what the idea needs—sometimes intimacy and stillness, sometimes movement, sound or physical presence.
Although the forms may change, the work remains connected by recurring ideas: memory, place, transformation and the ways people carry experience. I am interested in creating art that can be encountered slowly—work that leaves room for reflection and personal interpretation.
rooted in place
Living and creating in Hope, British Columbia, has shaped the way I understand landscape, community and belonging. Surrounded by mountains, rivers and layered histories, I am continually drawn to the relationship between people and place.
The Fraser Canyon appears in my work not only as scenery, but as atmosphere, memory and lived experience. Through painting, photography and installation, I explore how a landscape can hold both personal and collective stories.
