Christine Hill has been painting since the early 1970s and her work largely features the coast and waterways of Sydney. 

She now lives in Thirroul on the NSW South Coast where the landscape continues to inspire her. The rugged coastline, escarpment and lifestyle of that lovely part of the world are depicted in her paintings and ‘plein air’ sketches. 

Timber boats and the maritime life are special interests and she is a Fellow of the Australian Society of Marine Artists (ASMA).  

Generally, Christine’s work could be described as being of a narrative contemporary style and she works in a variety of mediums. 

Being a ‘resident artist’ sketching at public exhibitions and festivals is an interesting aspect of her art practice, and as well as painting for her own pleasure, she enjoys passing on her knowledge to others, conducting themed tutorials and general art classes – even on a cruise-ship.

Christine’s series of paintings describing the journey of Matthew Flinders and George Bass in the tiny Tom Thumb II became a book that illustrates their adventure and the places they visited. The Journey of Tom Thumb II sure is worth a look.
