Born in Ohio in 1954, Christine Ambrose graduated Suma Cum Laude from Kent State University, BFA, Art Education. Christine taught Art, but after a travel/study tour of South America, she became an artisan.
My mastery of the tjanting tool’s organic line, paired with a unique, sophisticated color palette, allows me to create dynamic work. A life animated by natural and spiritual motifs drawn from my international studies, provides constant inspiration for my fabric art, which I now quilt, bead and embroider.
Apprenticed under a National Endowment Grant, Christine learned the strict discipline involved in craft production. After moving to San Francisco, Christine devoted herself to the production of her spiritual, realistic and ethnic fabric designs. An international traveler, she studied the crafts of over fifteen countries. Her work has been sold through such notable venues as The American Craft Council, The Smithsonian Institution and The Sierra Club.
