From years of traveling and being up-rooted, Christabel’s paintings embody a sense of comfort from a community of landscapes that is created through geography, topography, time, and space.The paintings are ambiguous to exact locations, asking the viewer to connect the image to a place they are familiar with personally or generically. Through years of traveling, Christabel has found that there are familiar landscapes no matter where you go. These paintings search for landscapes of a collective unconscious. Moving masses of land that tie humanity together through desire, comfort, and history.
