Christine Calow - About
Christine Calow
Born in Cambridgeshire Christine studied at Cambridge School Of Art, where she was taught by the artist Nicholas Barnham who instilled in her a love of printing, and where she was chosen by Edward Bawden to receive the annual Printmaking Travel Award. She went on to study for her B.A.(hons) Degree in Textile Design at Loughborough College Of Art, specialising in Printed Textiles.

Christine has worked as a fabric designer and printer, and has also taught on Art Foundation Courses in Bedfordshire, Cleveland, Essex, London and Surrey.

Christine's work revolves around screenprinting. From her studio in St. Albans she creates small edition prints and paper collages using her own printed paper. In her latest work she combines screenprinting and painting. Christine has exhibited her work widely for a number of years, and her work is in private collections in the UK and abroad.

Some of Christine's passions are travel (especially to India and the Greek island of Andros), the paintings and prints of Albert Irvin and Hans Hofmann, and the expressive use of colour.
