    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.
