Hello & thank you for taking a look around my website. I'm Christina Galagarza, a multifaceted artist based in New Hope. I paint, collect, and create jewelry and objects, using materials that reflect the essence of my subjects. Whether it's the delicate beauty of flowers, the unique spirit of a person, or the emotional resonance of love stories, community, collective action, and the natural world, my art is deeply influenced by my surroundings and what I have on hand to create with. My artistic practice is poetic, cathartic, and vital to my well-being, and I strive to create work that uplifts and connects with my audience and collectors. Passionate about sharing the joy of creativity, I lead Mindful Blooms therapeutic art workshops, where beginners and experienced artists can explore their creative potential through collage in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. I also host monthly Figure Drawing sessions at the New Hope Arts Center gallery. For inquiries about Mindful Blooms workshops and Figure Drawing, please contact me at christina@lolanewhope.com.
