Christine Courchaine

Christine Courchaine is the artist and owner behind East Twin Arts, a self-taught mixed media artist based in Northeast Wisconsin. Her current body of work blends expressive ink drawing and luminous gold leaf, all brought together with striking black charcoal shading. Many of her recent pieces are created on upcycled cabinet doors and other repurposed surfaces, giving discarded materials new life through art.

In addition to her 2D work, Christine creates a distinctive ornament collection. Each piece begins with a charcoal sketch and evolves through acrylic paint, sculpted clay elements, and carefully selected embellishments such as rhinestones and gems. Her ornaments are available year-round in select gift shops and online.

Christine’s work has been exhibited at the Art Garage, Neville Public Museum, Whitewater Arts Alliance, and the Miller Art Museum, and she currently holds a permanent collection of over 90 pieces at the EPIC campus in Verona, Wisconsin. She is an active member of several Wisconsin arts organizations, including the Lakeshore Artists Guild, Sheboygan Visual Artists, Wisconsin Craft, Wisconsin Visual Arts, and the Wisconsin Alliance of Artists and Craftspeople.

Her work can be purchased through her website, at Off the Wheel Pottery in Egg Harbor, Madison Art Market, Fishline Designs, and at art fairs throughout the Midwest.
