Wildlife/Animals nominee

One of the greatest shows of wildlife on earth is the journey of millions of wildebeest moving from Tanzania’s Serengeti to Kenya’s Maasai Mara in search of food and water. A true experience for the senses. The sight of thousands of wildebeest creating dust as they approach, the sound of the stampede, the smell of the wildlife and the anticipation of the river crossing is an incredible visual feast. And to be present to be able to capture this journey is indeed a privilege.

Christine is a Melbourne-based Creative and self-taught Photographic Artist born and educated in Melbourne, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Graphic Communication from Monash University.

She searches for beauty in the natural world with the intent of elevating an ordinary subject to one that aims to be visually extraordinary. Drawn to textures, colours, patterns, forms and light and shade in the landscape– these design elements feature strongly in her art, resulting in often abstracted compositions and dreamscapes that become a tribute to nature.

Her award-winning work is held in private collections in Australia, Europe and the United States.
