About the Item
Words within painting:
I can trust my friends. These people force me to
examine myself, encourage me to grow. All of us
invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagina
tion than others. Honesty makes me feel powerful in
a difficult world. I think I am a product of my mother's
sensibilities and my mother's values. There has been
lots of battling and lots of love and it's never an
easy road for us. But in the deepest recesses, I do
have my mother's values. Women, unlike most men,
are able to accept mystery, accept whatever comes to
them -even if it's not logical. Women have to harness
their power -its absolutely true. It's just learning not to
take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead,
you go around the corner. Women are the real
architects of society. Until you're ready to look foolish,
you'll never have the possibility of being great. A
girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the
meantime that doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful
time with all the wrong ones. I don't need a man. But I'm
happier with one. I’d like someone I can touch and squeeze
and kiss. But I do not fold up and die if I don't have
a man around. I've always taken risks, and never worried
what the world might really think of me. Cherilyn Sarkisian

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.
