My name is Christine Weyer, and I live in Coram on Long Island, New York.  I have been married for 25 years and have three beautiful children and an adorable Shih Tzu.

I think my love of Art started when I got my first set of paints in kindergarten.  My first “big break” came from winning a school-wide art contest in third grade, and I was hooked from then on!  My mother was a decorative artist before they even used the term.  She painted on everything in oil and gold leaf and would toil for weeks and sometimes months on her projects.  Having her paintings surround me was an inspiration that still motivates me today.

While my children were young, my paint box collected a bit of dust, but as they grew older I picked up my brushes again and started to share that love and enthusiasm of painting with others.  This eventually led to a whole new career in teaching, which I’ve enjoyed ever since.

I’m currently secretary and board member of the Harbour Lights Painters SDP chapter, and a member of East End Painters and Decorative Artists of Long Island.  I’m also an ELITE Onestroke Certified Instructor and have had some of my work published in the Stroking Edge.

Receiving my TDA was such a gratifying experience and I learned a lot!  The fulfillment of that goal can only be described as one of the most rewarding moments of my life.   I am truly grateful to SDP for providing such an enriching program, and it has inspired me to set even higher painting goals for myself.  I am blessed to be able to do what I love, and share it with my students.
