CHRISTINA BRINKMAN •   ROCHESTER, NY

Beginning as 2-D visual artist, Brinkman currently focuses on her chosen medium of porcelain. Her simple forms bend and fold revealing a myriad of textures reflecting light and softened edges.

Brinkman received her BA degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology (NY) and studied at the University of Rochester's Creative Workshop (NY). Christina has been selected and featured across the nation and in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), has been the recepient of many awards, and her work is in multiple public and private collections such as the Mint Museum in Charlotte (NC), the Flint Institute of Art (MI), and the Lorne Lassiter and Gary Ferraro Collection. Christina currently lives and works in both Fort Lauderdale, FL and Rochester, NY. 

"Nature and organic form help bring direction and orientation to my work. It is usually white, the absence of color or the sum of all colors. Without the distraction of color, one considers the outline, the interior and exterior space, the proportions and the relationships of the form. My normal work is a collection or suite on a theme chosen from my experience. I work on 8 to 12 pieces on a theme and then move on to another. I am never certain of its destination but it is often within the boundaries of the vessel form."
