Christina Major
The work of American painter Christina Major sees a convergence of styles that she has made uniquely her own. Collectors will find traces of Pop art, Photorealism and Expressionism in the wide range of distinctive portraits she has created over the years.
A closer inspection of each large-scale canvas, which is prepared with gesso and stretched, will also reveal the integration of text — Major layers hand-painted words and phrases in cursive over each of her painted subjects’ faces, which draws on her background in graphic design and affords the artist the chance to share her own memories and opinions or general thoughts on the subject of a given work.
Major, a native of Concord, New Hampshire, centers her paintings on cultural icons. She has painted the visages of American musician Prince, actresses Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, as well as Pop art staples such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe.
After living in several places around the world, Major is now based in Florida and earned her MFA at Florida Atlantic University, and has exhibited throughout South Florida. Her work is held in private collections in the United States and elsewhere.

Words:
Now I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together so now he is a legend when he would have preffered to be a man.
the Children have been a wonderful gift to me, and I'm thankful to have once again seen out world through their eyes they restore my faith in the familys future
One must not let oneself b overwhelmed by sadness
can anyone understand how it is to have lived in the White House and then, suddenly to be living alone as the presidents widow?

"Flag of France" Small French Flag (Blue/Gold/Red), 23 Karat Gold Leaf and Oil
By Charlotte Andry Gibbs
Located in Wellesley, MA
Charlotte Gibbs’ "flag" and "star" paintings often reference the artist's interest in Pop art and sometimes incorporate 23 karat gold leaf in addition to oil paint, but not always. With its depiction of a graphically idealized small French flag, "Flag of France" is at once lovely and bold. Beautifully painted and exquisitely executed, these elegant works of rich color are sophisticated examples of Gibbs' ability to invoke pure geometric abstraction while paying homage to France, and the artist's simple white wood frames are the perfect complement .
Gibbs is often commissioned to paint variations on her 'flags' and 'stars' to customize scale, orientation, palette, and/or symbols of particular significance to the client.
