Christine Dougherty
Town Sunset
Pastel
Christine Dougherty is an artist working in Asheville's River Arts District. She paints landscapes in oils and pastels, preferring to work on location, "en plein air". Her style can be described as loose realism, as she is focused not only on accurate representation, but vibrant color interpretation as well. She also paints a series of bug "portraits", focusing on one small creature per canvas. This is her way of expressing her appreciation of all the little living things that get overlooked in a landscape.
Having lived in western North Carolina for over 15 years, she is very involved in the outdoors, enjoying whitewater kayaking, hiking, and camping with a passion. These activities have given her an acute appreciation of the beauty of the area, which she attempts to capture in her landscapes.
