Christina Rose Brown

She/Her

Artist and Educator based in London. Christina graduated in 2009 from Kingston University with a First Class Fine Art Degree. After several years working within the creative industries in London, Christina completed her PGCE at The Institute of Education UCL. Following this, she also studied for an MA in Art and Design in Education, finishing with a distinction. Until 2018 Christina worked full time as an art teacher. Since having children and coming out of the pandemic, Christina now combines part time teaching with a professional art career. 

As an artist, Christina works predominantly in textiles, in particular hand embroidery. Her work explores themes of identity, motherhood and the universal/personal lived experience. She has exhibited regularly in London, and organised workshops and events such as family events for the Tate Modern and London Gallery Weekend, Regular family workshops for the Fitzrovia Chapel and Zabludowicz Collection, and workshops for homeless young people for the charity SPEAR.
