Regional Juried Spring Open Juror:  Christine Lafuente

Christine Lafuente is an artist, curator, educator and writer. She studied at Bryn Mawr College, the Barnes Foundation and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts before receiving her MFA from Brooklyn College.  Her work has received international recognition and she has earned numerous grants and awards, including a Juror’s Award for Excellence from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; the Sketch Club Medal for Achievement in Visual Arts from the Philadelphia Sketch Club; and a Howard A. and Gail F. Schaevitz Foundation Grant.

Lafuente has taught and lectured at many colleges and art centers, including Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA; Arts Council of Princeton, NJ; Winslow Arts Center in Bainbridge Island, WA; ArtsWaves in Bar Harbor, ME and Wayne Art Center.

Her writings have appeared in many publications, including Fine Art Connoisseur, American Art Collector and International Artist. Her paintings are recognized by their masterful depiction of light, her use of color and for their rich brushwork.
