Staithes Festival of Arts and Heritage

Staithes Festival of Arts & Heritage has established itself as one of the friendliest festivals on the Yorkshire coast — a must-see weekend in the regional arts calendar.

Step inside a village like no other as the doors of cottages are thrown open, transforming Staithes into a trail of pop-up art galleries showcasing painting, print, ceramics, textiles, sculpture, photography and more.

Alongside the open studios, enjoy a programme celebrating Staithes’ rich history and heritage, including walks, talks, photographs and film shows.

Christine Hughes Fine Art

< Back to Artists

Christine has an alternative modern interpretation of a traditional landscape, using bold vivid colours and impulsive mark making, inspired by North Yorkshire's rugged Moors and coastline. Her vast imagined landscapes transport you to view an alternative euphoric realm. Using acrylics in striking neon and mixed media Christine is influenced by the surrounding landscapes and her interpretation of them and composes each piece as a way of expressing her memories as 'Snippets of Time'. Christine is a fine artist and narrator of stories developing in the form of her illustrations & Ceramic Sculptures, inspired by anecdotal life events and imagined whimsical characters in animal and human form. Christine transforms you into a magical world by use of colour to create original paintings to make you smile.
