With her grandfather being a painter and her father being a woodcarver, Christine Musser (nee Merrikin) has known she wanted to be an artist since the age of 4.  Shortly after graduating with a degree in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design, she moved into a small live/work studio in Fremont (a neighborhood in Seattle, WA) and began experimenting with painting on multiple layers on plexiglass (which are then sandwiched to form the entire composition).

Inspired by the idea of working in mediums which can be worn as well as be one-of-a-kind works of art, she began painting on silk in 1998 and started the glass jewelry line soon after. In addition to her wearable art pieces, Christine also paints on canvas, paper, designs illustrations/graphics for print and web and also creates fused glass.
