“ through the power of love we can do anything”about christiana
Christiana’s Journey began within the instability of foster care & children’s homes, moving through dozens of homes until being adopted as a little girl at five. From this early disruption emerged a powerful internal drive, an artistic and spiritual soul lit with purpose. Raised in Orange County, California, mainly the coastal art haven of Laguna Beach, her adoptive mother recognized and encouraged her creative gift from the vey beginning.
After earning her degree in Art from CSULB, Christiana followed an inner calling to Manhattan in New York City at the age of 23. With little more than suitcase, spirit and Faith, she immersed herself in the rhythm of the city, studying Art Therapy at the School Of visual, working as a fashion Stylist and Painting in between breaths. She received her first solo show at Christopher J Haws Gallery on Boston’s Prestigious Newberry street at age 25. From that point on she exhibited her works in New York, Los Angels,Palm Springs, Laguna Beach, India, Thailand, South America, Pakistan, France , Italy and beyond.
Christiana’s early life experiences were not just hardships, they were spiritual initiations that birthed a lifelong mission: to alchemize pain into healing and raise consciousness through the vibrational power of art. Her art emanates more than visual beauty, it carries VIBRATIONAL ENERGY. Each piece is infused with emotional resonance and intention, activating shifts in the energy field of any space it occupies. Christiana’s paintings are live transmissions: they hold the frequency of healing, empowerment and awakening. Viewers often describe a sense of calm, inspiration or a profound spiritual connection when standing before her work. These responses are not accidental, they are intentional echoes of the sacred energy she channels into every mark she makes.
Her symbolic, emotionally raw, and archetypical imagery reflects stories of survival, beauty in transformation and internal grace.Her pieces confront difficult topics with honesty and compassion, often referred to as “ Vision Boards on canvas “ Christiana uses iconic-ethereal faces, organic figures , layered with juicy color, poetry and nature to explore identity, emotion and universal healing themes.
Christiana is not only and artist , she is an ACTIVIST, HUMANITARIAN,AND A SPIRITUAL ADVOCATE. Her life and art are inextricably woven into her advocacy for those with out a voice. Through both public work and personal outreach, she stands for Trauma recovery, mental health, homelessness, addiction, abuse recovery and prevention, disability rights, violence prevention and intervention, ageism, racism, sexism, hate crimes, anti-bullying and the fight to end sex-trafficking.
Her message is bold: LOVE IS THE MOST POWERFULLY WEAPON TO TRUTH , HEALING AND CONNECTION. Her platform is rooted in service, visibility, and empowerment for the unseen and unloved!
Christiana’s art invites you to feel, remember and rise. It is not pass-save, it stirs something within. Her mission is not to decorate, but to ELEVATE. Each painting becomes a sacred portal: from shadow to light, from wound to wisdom, from silence to voice.
CHRISTIANA’S PURPOSE IS CLEAR: to transmute personal and collective pain into radiant peace- and to remind us that art is not just something to see, but something to feel, to heal and to become.
