Christine
Graf is a distinguished artist and designer who brings a fresh, novel
approach to her stylized flowers, scenics, garden settings, pastorals, and
depictions of the natural world. Although inspired by traditional
themes, she uses them as a launching point for a very 21st-century
approach which has brought her considerable attention in recent years.
Her
artwork has been published and distributed broadly, and she has licensed
her work into a wide variety of fields from quilting to wall decor to
stationery and well beyond. We are delighted to welcome an artist of
this magnitude to Porterfield's!
Among
her many awards and prestigious credits, Christine Graf has been
commissioned by the White House to paint the Easter Egg Event and her
artwork is in the permanent collection of President and Mrs. Reagan as
well as in the Smithsonian Institute.
Although
Christine lives in New York City, she is a frequent visitor to friends and
family in rural Vermont and considers that state her second home. It
is in Vermont where she is inspired by the lush countryside and the
peacefulness and beauty of the pastoral life. The sights and sounds
of nature are her spiritual sustenance and it is this innocent vision she
hopes to capture and share with others through her art.
We're
delighted to have the opportunity to represent the lovely decorative
Americana art of Christine Graf into the family of fine Porterfield's
artists, and recommend the artist's work for home fabrics - particularly
quilts and woven products as well as kitchen and dining room fabrics -
home decor and accessories, and all forms of stationery, wall decor and
print products.
For more
information about how you can put this charming art to work on your
products, please contact
Lance Klass, President of Porterfield's, at (800) 660-8345 or email
