Christina West was born and raised just outside Lansing, MI. In 2003, she graduated with a BFA in painting from Siena Heights University in Adrian, MI. Late in her undergraduate studies Christina was seduced by the way clay allowed her to draw in three dimensions and she went on to study at The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, earning her MFA in 2006. Christina was a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts in Helena, MT from 2006 to 2007, and is a 2007 New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship recipient. Currently, Christina is a visiting lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Christina's work is included in collections at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts (San Angelo, TX), Wright State University (Dayton, OH), Siena Heights University (Adrian, MI), The Schein-Joseph International Museum of Art (Alfred, NY), The Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, MT).
