"My name's Christine Nguyen, I'm a mixed media artist. I work in various materials and processes such as photography, drawing, salt crystallizing objects, and my paintings as well as cyanotypes.
"My inspiration is derived from nature and the cosmos. And I'm always interplaying with the micro and macro world, where looking into a microscope is very similar to looking into a telescope. And within that, I try and place ourselves within the cosmos.
"Being new to Colorado, I really wanted to be a part of the community and learn more about the community and get to know people.
"I'm really excited about creating little installations in this studio. And then being a part of RedLine, I'm hoping to do more community workshops and collaborating with them."
