A short biography of the artist     Christine Wressnig-Hornischer

• she was born on the first day of spring (March 21) in Vienna, grown up in Graz.

• after completing her Masters in Mathematics and Physics at Graz University she completed an additional Master in Stage-design and Costume-design at the University for music and performing arts.

• she worked for several years as stage- and costume-designer at the Theatre of Lübeck (Germany). Afterwards she worked as a freelancer at theatres in Germany (Hamburg, Braunschweig. etc) and Austria (Salzburg, Vienna, Graz) and for the Austrian TV channel ORF.

• since the end of the eighties she has focused completely on painting. She has also pursued her interests in spiritual matters, psychology, astrology, holistic thinking and peace-work as means to find ways to further joy in daily life and to enhance joy and love on our planet.

• in the years 2000 through 2002 she was trained in ' 'The Personal Totem Pole Process' - a method developed by Eligio Stephen Gallegos to communicate with one's inner self (based on three spiritual and psychological traditions: C. G. Jung, the visions of the indigenous people of North America and the knowledge of the working of Chakras of Eastern Cultures).

After I have had a vast amount of joyful as well as painful experiences through working with 'The Personal Totem Pole Process' method I am looking forward to the possibility of sharing the benefits with other people. I am curious how my 'inner animals' will continue to show in my painting.
