Christine Fertey-Green 

Born in Paris, France my artistic journey started by studying life drawing at the École du Louvre.​ Having moved to England a few years later I furthered my experience studying portraiture and still life with the highly acclaimed portraitist John Jonas in London and composition with Prue Pardue (BA Oxon and RA London).​ My semi-abstract compositions are inspired by the shapes, forms and colours of the contemporary world and reflect my individual concepts & expressions of beauty as well as my profound sense of spirituality. Bonnard's assertion that "the only basis for an artist's work is their choice of colour and tonality" is a statement which I hold in high regard and greatly influences my paintings.​ I was honoured that my art was selected for the cover of a posthumous CD release of the music of jazz giant Chet Baker.​ My works hang in private collections in England, China, Italy, France and USA.​I currently reside in South Oxfordshire with my family.
