Artist Statement

​

Christina M Vincent is a fine woodworker and garden designer. Her studio is on North Haven, an unabridged island in Penobscot Bay, Maine. Her background includes a B.S. Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design with an art minor from the University of Rhode Island along with both a Furniture Intensive and Wood Turning Intensive from Center for Furniture Craftsmanship.

​

Her work identifies with the key elements of the studio furniture movement; original designs, handcrafted and studio made, with the intention of individual artistic expression, paired with functionality. “There is something intangible about how much the art of fine woodworking has become a part of my identity. I derive deep satisfaction being able to take a concept and create it in the physical world. The inspiration for my work comes from the vast beauty of nature and the natural world.”

​

Christina has exhibited her work at the Farnsworth Art Museum 365 Gallery, Messler Gallery, Smithsonian Craft Show, Philadelphia Museum of Art Show, and this upcoming spring at the Wharton Esherick Museum, along with several publications including Maine Homes by DownEast, Decor Maine, American Woodturner, and Green and Healthy Maine Homes.

​

Her fine woodworking pieces have been purchased by several art collectors and can also be found in homes on the island, down the east coast, and across to California.
