Christine O’Keefe is a classically trained figurative artist, having studied drawing and oil painting at Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan CT over a period of about 6 years. Over the years since then she has regularly taken private workshops with talented artists such as Mark Boedges, Steven Assael, as well as Florence Academy trained artists Jennifer Gennari and Jesus Villarreal. She is a member of The New Street Guild of Artists, a group of women artists. She also studied privately with artist Justin Wiest in Wilton, painting live models, portraits, and figures in oil. Over the past several years she has devoted more and more of her work to painting animals, especially dogs, horses and wildlife. She is a lifetime lover of all animals, an animal rights advocate, and served on the board of the Humane Society for about 20 years in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. She does commissions of pets and also has worked on a series she calls “Dogs in Cars” of silly dogs she find in parking lots at the grocery store, parks, and anywhere they think they can be mistaken for a human passenger. Her studio is located at the G&B Cultural Center in Wilton.
