Christina West is an avid people watcher with a dry sense of humor, active imagination, and an innate impulse to create with her hands. If you meet her and she stares at you a bit too long, she’s probably just picturing you naked.

Christina West was born and raised just outside Lansing, MI. In 2003, she graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in painting from Siena Heights University in Adrian, MI. Late in her undergraduate studies Christina became seduced by the way clay allowed her to draw in three dimensions and she went on to study at The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, earning her MFA in 2006. Until September of 2007 she is participating as a fellowship artist in a residency at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts in Helena, MT.
