Christine enochs

Christine Enochs is an artist working in Asheville, NC. She paints landscapes in oils and pastels in the studio or on location, en plein air. Her style can be described as loose realism, as she is focused not only on accurate representation with painterly flair, but vibrant color interpretation as well.
After acquiring a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design, she was drawn to the mountains of WNC. Having lived in the area now for many years, she is very involved in the outdoors, enjoying whitewater kayaking, hiking, and camping. These activities have given her an acute appreciation of the beauty of the area, which she attempts to capture and share in her art.
