Christine Cover is an artist living and working in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC.

​

She creates mixed-media paintings using acrylic, oil stick, and pastel to examine the boundaries between seeing and sensing. Floating marks and fields of color are often held in tension with representational objects, allowing shifts between recognition and perception to unfold within the picture plane.

 

Grounded in the visual language of Fauvism and Color Field painting, Cover uses heightened color to engage the emotional and sensory nature of her subjects, while also considering color a subject in itself. In this way, color operates simultaneously as descriptive and autonomous.

 

Her studio practice is guided by the act of translating lived experience into form. Painting functions as an open-ended process shaped by perception, intuition, and response.
