Christine Lafuente | City and Sea

Christine Lafuente’s upcoming exhibition, City and Sea, introduces bodies of work created from new vantage points in Venice, Italy, and Brooklyn, NY where she lives and keeps a studio throughout the year. Alongside these new oils and watercolors are seascapes from the coast of Maine where Lafuente returns annually to paint en plein air and gather visual experiences to later scale up into large seascapes in her Brooklyn studio. Lafeunte holds a Certificate in Painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and an M.F.A. in Painting from Brooklyn College.  An award-winning artist, Lafuente has received an Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant, been included in the Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts at the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and most recently received a Medal for Achievement in Visual Arts from the Philadelphia Sketch Club.
