CHRISTINE INNISS Austrian / Canadian / Barbadian. Christine’s inspiration for painting blossomed after buying a traditional plantation house in Barbados. The house was large and the walls needed decorating. She did not have any formal training but loved to sketch, which led her to join Indrani Whittingham’s group to learn how to paint. Twenty odd years later, she still attends the Newcomers Art Group. She grew as an artist by attending workshops with local and visiting artists and has competed and won awards in the Newcomers Art group, NIFCA, and private competitions. Her medium of choice is oil. Christine is constantly inspired by the people, the animals, and the landscape of Barbados. She interprets the island as one big canvas of fabulous colors with ever-changing light reflections. When Christine designed her new home in 2006 she realized that she now had more paintings than wall space! (246) 234-1167
