Some more of Christina's excellent art.
Congratulations Christina McSpadden!
2023 Art Competition Winner.
The Maine Celtic Celebration has been a summer highlight for Christina for over a decade. Christina was introduced to Celtic Music at an early age. Her parents believed in music education, and she and her siblings grew up playing music. Christina chose to learn the bagpipes. In addition to a love of celtic music, Christina has been a self-taught artist since her childhood, and creates gorgeous works of art, all while raising six children. You can see her pen and ink puffin creations at Renew ME in Belfast, Maine. Thank you Christina!
