Christine Kerrick was born and raised in West Chester, Pennsylvania and received a BFA in Illustration from University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Ever since she was a child, Christine loved drawing and making books, enthralling with stories whoever would listen. When challenged in high school by her father to decide whether her art was 'a hobby or a profession', she decided to step out in faith and do what she loved. There didn't seem to be any other choice.

At University of the Arts, Christine was given the finest illustration education in the country, with a focus on classical anatomical drawing and design. Later she would use her design sense to enter the graphic design field for years following her graduation. Still, her first love was drawing and painting. After having worked in the hospitality, entertainment and apparel industries in graphic design and illustration capacities, Christine moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

During her six years of employment at Broward Sheriff's Office, the agency sent her to FBI Academy for a three-week course in Forensic Facial Imaging taught by instructors whose credits included the Martin Luther King assassination, the Susan Smith case and a consultant for CBS's 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' series. The course helped her to solve a few cases; one of them a traffic homicide in 2006.

During her time in South Florida, Christine has published three comic books and two graphic novels, each of which she released at Comicon International in San Diego between 1997 and 2007. She has also created a body of whimsical art entitled 'The Cafe Series', which is presently on exhibit at Gallery 101 in Fort Lauderdale.

Other projects include a non-fiction book illustrated with cartoons, about dating and deception, and three fiction works in the inspirational romance/thriller genre.

Christine believes that stories can be told in any medium and are most effective when done with technical excellence and from the heart.
