Made of Happy: Christine Buckton Tillman
September 2 – October 17, 2010
Opening Reception September 9 from 5:30-7:30pm
John Fonda Gallery, Baltimore Theatre Project

Christine Buckton Tillman hails from the great Northern Chicago suburb of Libertyville, IL. It was in this endless network of suburbs that she developed her sincere fascination with artifice. Christine went on to spend seven years in the great state of Iowa, earning her BA from Coe College and her MFA from the University of Iowa. She adopted two cats, fell in love with a nice boy, moved to Maryland, and got married. Christine, the two cats, and the nice boy now live in Baltimore.

Christine considers herself a very flat sculptor who probably makes even more drawings than she does sculptures. She exhibits her work frequently in the Mid Atlantic and beyond, including exhibitions at Transformer in Washington DC, Current Gallery in Baltimore, Redux in Charleston SC, and Material in Memphis, TN. She is a member of the Upper School Faculty at the Park School of Baltimore, MD.
