About Moi
About Christine Waljeski
I am an artist living in Malibu, California, married to a fabulous Frenchman and raising a phenomenal , curious, bilingual almost 6 year old daughter. I was raised in a family that highly valued adventure, travel, art, language, and creativity, and my work has always been a deep dive into all of it. My professional education was split between life in the UC Berkeley fine art studios and out in the hills of California mapping and studying geology. I have a lifelong love of both science and art and over the years I have often been torn between calling myself a scientist or an artist. As I get older I realize more and more that I will always be both.
I find the work that speaks to me the most are the pieces that both ground me and take me to another place or time. I want to feel the softness of the air or the bite of the breeze, the tickle of the grass or the hot sunlight on the rock. I hope you find something in here that speaks to you and asks you to be both more present in your day while also inviting you to imagine greater adventure for yourself.
Most recently I have been working in watercolor most often in a plein-air setting. With a young “apprentice” these days, plein-air painting mostly means quick furious sketches in my journal. I love that plein-air work asks me to be 100% present in nature, taking in the static details of shape and form while working to capture the dynamic and everchanging light and feeling.
Over the years I have worked in stone-carving, lost wax casting, printmaking, oil painting, ceramic sculpture and more. While as of late I work most often in watercolors, I look forward to returning to and sharing more works in a variety of media.

Hello, Bonjour!
I am so glad you made it here to my little corner of the internet. My name is Christine and I am an artist, a teacher (of art, dance, science and more) and a traveler. It all keeps me pretty busy and these days I spend more time living life than updating my website...thank goodness.
What I can say is that I am often out and about traveling and painting and creating new work for sale. I focus on luxurious fine art prints yet occasionally I sell originals and I am always open to commissions. Most recently I have opened myself up for teaching art lessons both privately and in group settings.
If I am not traveling and painting, you can find me dancing or teaching Nia. Find out more about classes or retreats and workshops on the Nia section of my site.
If I am not dancing, teaching Nia, painting or traveling then I am most likely spending time with my family or in deep and delicious conversation with a friend as we help each other creatively design our lives!
Whatever your interests are, I am sure we have some shared ones so let's chat.
Interested in purchasing a fine art print or working together on a commission? Shoot me an email and let's get you some art.
Love to dance and want to feel more joy in your movement and body? Join a class with me or let's create a group class for a special event like a birthday, wedding or any celebration.
Looking for more creativity and joy in your life? Let's get together and talk authentic vision and goals!
Do all of these options sound fun? Let's set up a one day or more immersive mini retreat either one-on-one or with friends for a 360 creative living experience!
