    These are really really cool, and show that all the inspiration that you will ever need is all around us.

    Great work!

    TRIPPY!

    i enjoyed this and would love to invest in her work.
    i connect with her because i see the forest and wood like that as well i can always make a face out of things so that was cool to learn that other people see art the way i do and the part towards the end where she says people say her work is like an aquarium i had deja vu because right when i saw her work thats how i looked at it so in short shes a righteous artist

    Cool pod! I love her inspiration comes from the canvas/ wood/etc...Art that brings you into itself....very nice!

    I really enjoy seeing the creation and inspiration for the art before I see the finished piece. Her wood pieces call out to me more than her canvas pieces. Great pod!

    I enjoyed this pod immensely!!! Her work caught my attention big time. Once I watched it I had to google her immediately to learn more about her art!!!

  •  

    Christine is an inspiration to us all. A true example of how art exists everywhere you look! It surrounds us and comforts us. She simply points it out, and in the process changes how we view our surroundings.

    Much fuzzy abstract ghost luv!

    anybody?

    yes, the art was good but you can't make a guide on how to "read" your art work. It's up to everyone else to perceive it however they want. thats the whole point of art. Also she thinks shes some super-human woods woman who can see faces in random objects, but thats what our brain is supposed to do, everyones brain does that.

    Christine Cambrea is an artist true to the name of this site: she is a visionary art visionary. The pod is delightful and great to watch on its own and gives great added value to understanding her terrific artistic creations. She is as beautiful as her art.....and the whole ensemble is....inspiring.....

    I would not call this Visionary Art. She is doing what she is doing, expressing her self, developing her work and that is cool enough! However the process use to create the pieces is not visionary! This not visionary art period. Love it or hate it. Hay CURRENT!

    oh man! i loveee this pod. her art is so captivating and inspirational. i do that too, like seeing faces in wierd random things, but only wish i could translate it like she does. i love the art she makes and her methods of doing so. :]

    i have to show some love for the artist in this pod cause my visual work has a very similar sensibility...i'm a lil more abstract organic, but i do feel her when she says that the paintings tell her what to do.

    & i really dig the way that she came up with a symbol key to help the viewer understand her intentions...usually i think its up 2 the viewer 2 give the work meaning, but i think her method of giving a lil guidance is brilliant!

    that is such a nice view of this artwork and the artist...its natural for us as 'hunters' i think to see faces in everything.
    this video shows her work beautifully, well done :-)

    This inspired me to drag out my paints...I've been nearly there for awhile but this pod caused me to log in, save it, drag out a canvas and get to work!

    She is brilliant and I love this pod! It is nice to see someone going against the grain of traditional painting. To me there is no right or wrong way to create an art peace. We have imagination for a reason and she showed everyone one of the many reasons.
