Christine Stoughton is a visual artist and art educator living in the greater Philadelphia area.
She is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of Art and has a PhD from Boston College. She has taught printmaking in numerous academic institutions and is currently an instructor of art aesthetics at the Barnes Foundation and St Joseph University.
She works both in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional realm. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally in solo and group shows.
Her art, which explores the concept of change and the ephemeral, and references the natural world, is strongly influenced by her careers as a psychologist and a teacher, and her experiences as a mother.
