Can you tell the readers a little bit about yourself, name, what country you live in, age etc? My name is Christina Romeo I am 41 years old, born in New York raised in Ft. Lauderdale and Houston Texas. I now reside in British Columbia Canada -What inspired you to start being creative?
An early caregiver inspired and introduced me to the world of simple stitching by teaching me cross-stitch and embroidery. Today in most of my work you will find a simple stitch somewhere in the piece as I find it to be the foundation of my creativity. I think, just like most creative folks.....I always have been a creative soul preferring to live in a fantasy world surrounded by books and my illustrations.... using them to deal with some of the stresses of my early childhood. -Is making art your fulltime job, and if not, what else do you do? Art is one of my full-time jobs another being a full-time single parent to three boys and last but not least a Health Information Management Professional coding health information in Healthcare. -Have you gone to art school, if yes where did you go and what did you study? I have never had any formal training in art studies but tons of formal training in Health Care Statistics, Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I think art keeps me sane and balanced. -Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration in the simple act of illustrating. I will spend hours doodling, before bed, at work, any chance I get.. I am also inspired by all forms of textile work. -Do you have a favorite artist and if so who and why? Right now I am loving the work of Catherine Mulligan, Elia Mauceri, and am always in love with the work of Amy Huddleston from Seattle -Where can my readers see you`re work?More of my work can be found here: http://ChristinaRomeo.etsy.com
