Christina Bechstein is an artist, mother, and educator who has taught in art, design, and architecture programs across the United States. Her art practice is interdisciplinary and collaborative in nature, encompassing and overlapping such fields as social sculpture, large scale community-based public art, activism, sculpture, textiles, film, and performance. In her social business project Love Lab Studio, Christina works to make simple creativity public as a force to co-create a better world. Christina is also part of a new pilot group in Portland, Maine, Sister Makings, that tends to community and relationships and brings new neighbor, local women and our children together over crafts, food, coffee, and gardening.
Bechstein has a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design, an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture.
