She is inspired as equally by great masters in the fields of arts and energy-work as her contemporary peers.
Cristina aims to positively impact the state of mother earth and humanity through the expression of her gifts and therefore makes it a key priority to be mindful of how the process and product of her artistic practice affects the environment and therefore the body both short term and long term. She strives to make her work as eco-friendly, low impact and nontoxic as possible, within the parameters of accessible resources, by using recycled fiber papers, and responsibly sourced/ manufactured materials and is constantly offsetting her carbon footprint with a daily eco-conscious lifeway.
