Christine Turnbull has been surrounded and inspired by art her entire life. She can’t remember a time in her life without it's influence. Rainy days in Seattle as a child roaming museums and galleries she often found herself enraptured in the story behind what she was seeing, always keenly aware of how it made her feel. Her love of nature and all things mysterious fueled her fire for inspiration in a myriad of materials. Christine found herself experimenting in sculpture 21 years ago after the birth of her first son. She and her husband (also a sculptor) moved to Maui for a life of adventure and art. Christine took to studying figurative realism, finding freedom and ease in creating life-size portraiture. After discovering this unknown talent, she went on to sculpting several commissioned pieces for public and private venues. In over 20 years of being a sculptor, her public work can be seen at the Witte Museum and the DoSeum Museum in San Antonio, Texas.  She was selected to create a bust of King Kamehameha in Lahaina, Maui, Imua family services in Kahului, Maui, The Will Smith Zoo school in San Antonio, Texas, the Charlie Naylor Recovery Center in Portland, Oregon, and several private commissions throughout the United States.
