Season 6 | Episode 7 : Interview with Artist Christina Wegman

Christina Wegman is a mostly self-taught Huntsville artist and small business owner. Born in 1985 in Northridge, California, she grew up in Madison County and has lived and traveled across the US, Canada, and Europe (including several years of splitting time between Alabama and Germany). Her work has been displayed by the Huntsville Art League, Arts Huntsville, and many other galleries and businesses in and around town such as the Huntsville Botanical Garden, Church Street Wine Shoppe, Harrison Brothers, and Alabama Goods. Her work has also been displayed in Decatur, AL at the Carnegie Visual Arts Center and The Cupboard. She has painted two murals in Downtown Huntsville, including the very popular Alley Cats on the Clinton Row Color Walk. In 2018, she had the honor of being selected to be the Panoply poster artist, and later in the year collaborated with the Huntsville Historic Foundation on the Color Me Huntsville coloring book released in summer 2019 and did a second coloring book with the Historic Foundation in 2021. Her contemplations on her many interests often combine to form new styles and themes, but after running a gallery in Downtown Huntsville over the course of 4.5 years, a large amount of her work focuses on Huntsville scenes and historic landmarks, as well as the beauty and poetry of North Alabama in general. Christina is an avid reader, language learner, pianist, nature-lover, and supporter of local businesses and artists. Her interests extend to architecture and creative place-making; her goal is to pursue projects that allow her to transform her ideas into reality, and expand her understanding of her interests and her world.
