Christina Rollo

Artist Bio

As a wife and mother working full-time, Christina Rollo still finds time to pursue her interest and practice her craft. Country living on eight acres in a beautiful part of central New York, gives her the ideal opportunity to photograph nature as she observes it. Her interest in photography and love of the outdoors has produced a wonderful gallery of photos. Christina says she experiences a complete loss of worry and sense of time as she quietly walks or peacefully sits observing all living things around her. She is not just a patient photographer, but a dedicated mother and passionate animal lover. She is constantly learning to enhance her surroundings and do her part to help maintain the balance of nature.

Whether it's an image of people, the family dog, a fall spider web covered with dew, or a hawk on the attack, the art world is beginning to recognize the determination and style she brings forth. Her latest undertaking has been photographing Chenango Forks varsity football. As you become familiar with the spirit of her images, you will be gaining an appreciation of the beauty in central New York and an understanding of the animals and people that reside there.

Christina looks for special beauty, details of things you don't normally see, or nature very close-up. Her ability is obvious in the high quality photos of animals ranging from deer to bees, and the website she designed and maintains herself to display them.  She quietly waits for each photographic moment to unfold. If you were to observe her quietly surveying a scene to capture the right setting, it would be easy to understand and appreciate the passion she has for her craft. This same passion goes into all of her hand-made products. Perfectionism is a must. She is not satisfied with an image until it is just right. When a piece turns out very well, the photo will show the essence of the moment in which it was taken.

Christina photographs nature because it brings her joy and understanding. She loves the adventure of meeting new people, discovering new plants and animals and the educational opportunities it provides. She is at peace when she watches the harmony and determination of animals quietly competing to survive. She encourages people who see her photographs to smile, be surprised or amazed but most importantly be inspired to gain knowledge and interest in photography and her animal subjects.
