Since
the young age of three, Christine has been fascinated by the piano. Christine's childhood classical training is
evident in her melodic and thematic compositions, while rich harmonies reflect
her background in accompanying various choral groups. From Chopin to Joplin,
her influences were varied and many, and she also enjoyed creating her own
arrangements of popular songs. While earning a business degree at the
University of Colorado Boulder, Christine was inspired by George Winston's new
age genre of solo piano, yet the piano remained only a hobby for many
years. Christine rediscovered her
passion for the piano, immersing herself in her music after the loss of her
mother in 1990. She began composing, using the piano to voice her emotions,
releasing heartfelt compositions that captured listeners.

music is vibrant, colorful and full of life. Skilled at the art of blending
chords and note progressions into beautiful aural tapestries, her emotions come
through her music ... and through her music she is able to reach out and touch
the hearts of millions of appreciative piano music fans." Christine
currently resides in San Diego, California.
