Christine Fitzgerald
Christine Fitzgerald is a photo-based artist from Ottawa, Canada. She sees photography as a medium for creating unique physical objects. This growing conviction is the basis of her current artistic practice, as she explores the possibilities of using historical methods of image and photographic print making as a means of expression.
A graduate of the School of the Photographic Arts: Ottawa, and Acadia and Dalhousie Universities, Christine completed an artist residency at the Ottawa School of Art, and was an invited artist in residence in print media at York University. She was one of 15 visual artists selected for the historic Canada C3 Expedition on Canada’s 150th anniversary.
The work inspired by her Expedition experience was part of the 2019 Open Channels national exhibition at the Canada Council for the Arts in Ottawa, Canada. Christine has been the recipient of grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts, and numerous awards including the 2016 International Fine Art Photographer of the Year from the Lucie Foundation and was one of the 2017 winners of the International Julia Margaret Cameron Award for women photographers.
In 2018, she had the privilege of creating a portrait of Dr. Jane Goodall on the occasion of her 85th birthday. Her work is in public and private collections and has been featured by the CBC, The Washington Post and the National Geographic, amongst others. In 2020, her artwork was at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. as part of the featured exhibition, New Light: Canadian Women Artists.
