Oil Paintings by Christine Marx.

​Well known Bucks County artist Christine Marx studied with many fantastic teachers over the years. Her love of the technique of “Chiarascuro” shows in all her artwork.
Chiaroscuro in art is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition. It is also a technical term used by artists and art historians for the use of contrasts of light to achieve a sense of volume in modelling three-dimensional objects and figures.
Christine juried in "Salon International" at the Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio Texas in 2013. She was also a winner for a juried show for Still Life Category. Her paintings are in many private collections throughout the United States. 
Stone House Antiques Center has been honored for the past 4 years to have her fine art paintings on display and available for sale at our store.
Come see some of her latest works currently displayed at the store today.

“Winter Retreat” by local Bucks County Artist, Tatiana Alexeeve, known for realist and impressionist winter landscape, rural scene, floral paintings.
We are excited to have one of her fine pieces available at the Stone House Antiques Center.

​Tatiana was born in 1963 in a small village outside of Cheboksary, Russia, located on the Volga river. Like many Russian families at that time Tatiana's parents worked farmland, her father was a carpenter and her mother was a homemaker. Tatiana's mom was very artistic and her father made billboards for a collective farm. In her free time from helping out on the farm and herding village cows and sheep Tatiana would enjoy drawing with colored pencils, painting with watercolors and playing outdoors. She was surrounded by rolling hills, endless fields of rye and cornflowers, thick forests of old oaks, birch trees and towering evergreen pines.
 
Tatiana was not sure who she wanted to be until 9th grade. One day a couple of artists came to the school to paint murals on the hallway and gym walls. When they were finished they tossed the leftover oil paints on top of a snow covered trash bin. On her way home after school Tatiana found the leftover paint tubes laying in the snow. She instantly became curious and decided to open the tubes when she got home to test them out. The oil paint was different from the watercolor with which she usually painted, they had a distinct scent of earth and linseed oil. She loved it and at that moment she knew that one day she would definitely become an artist.
 
Pursuing her dreams Tatiana went to study at an art college in Vladimir city. There she worked primarily with watercolors and acrylics, and after graduation she taught herself how to paint with oils. Upon receiving an Associates Degree in Art & Design Tatiana began working as an artist-designer at the National Library in Cheboksary, and then at a small factory where she hand decorated ceramic plates and other pottery items in Gzhel, a traditional Russian blue and white decorative style. Tatiana began her family and had two children while teaching at an after school art club of a youth center for several years. After moving to Saint Petersburg in 1991 and discovering the art scene in the cultural capital of Russia she began to sell her paintings on the Nevsky Prospect, a mecca for art enthusiasts and a major shopping and tourist destination. In 1997 Tatiana took the leap and flew to the United Stated to find a better life, her children joined her the following year. Tatiana made Bucks County, Pennsylvania, her home and currently resides just outside of Doylestown with her husband.
 
Tatiana has a deep appreciation and admiration for the beautiful Russian countryside where she grew up. She considers herself very fortunate to live in Bucks County with its bright red farm houses, old mills, charming valleys, hills and rivers that keep her wanting to explore her surroundings every season. Today the beauty of Bucks County is her inspiration.

Watercolor was her first love. Working with watercolor mono prints gave her a freedom and discovered techniques that lead her back to her fascination with stained canvasses.
The technique of stained canvasses with acrylic paint gives her the expression of watercolor with the options of size and durability of traditional painting.
