Christina Montaruli, My Tilted Canvas

Christina Montaruli is our  newest member of the Las Vegas Crafters Guild.  Welcome Christina!!  A former New Yorker from Long Island  ( yes, she still has the accent J), Christina lived in Florida for 13 years before  heading west to Las Vegas in 1995.

She was a hair stylist for 40 years but always had a love for  creating art.  As with many artisans, Christina has worked in different mediums from silver clay, to cutting glass and using a kiln to make jewelry and other small decorative items.   Christina  is a talented artist and paints with oil paints, acrylics, and watercolors. 

During the pandemic, Christina was furloughed from work as a hair stylist.  But, being a creative soul, she put her blow dryer to work not on hair but on creating different patterns and colors for acrylic pouring canvases.   Who  knew a blow dryer could aid in creating bold, abstract pieces with lots of texture and movement?

Christina has also mastered the craft of working with resin.  Her paperweights are fun pieces with different objects such as seashells, dried flowers layered in resin.  A great cottagecore gift item.  She also uses resin on wood and also creates beautiful coasters that little pieces of art.   Christina is constantly pushing the boundaries and making objects that are one of a kind, original and beautiful.
