Christine Koch is a Newfoundland-based painter and printmaker who draws inspiration and imagery from Canada's mountain and northern environments. In the winter she works in St. John's, in a large studio on the top floor of an 1893 harbourfront building. In the summer she can be found in her studio in Woody Point, an enclave community in Gros Morne National Park, with which she fell in love in 1998 when she was invited to be Artist in Residence in the Park.

She has also travelled and worked in other remote and beautiful environments, as Visiting Artist with a number of scientific research teams. Her work comes out of those experiences, and offers her interpretation of, particularly, the dramatic geology and geomorphology of some of Canada’s most iconic wild places. These have included: Gros Morne National Park, northern Labrador, Baffin Island, the Yukon, and the Rocky Mountains. In addition to her studio work, her career has involved academic scholarship, art administration, curating, jurying, critical writing, teaching, and conducting workshops.

Christine Koch has exhibited widely in Canada, with solo exhibitions in public and private galleries across the country. Her work is represented in major public and corporate Collections within Canada and the USA, and in private collections worldwide.

In addition to her studio work, her career has involved academic scholarship, art administration, curating, jurying, critical writing, teaching, and conducting workshops.
