Christina Grachek
Maple Valley, Washington
Christina is a Maple Valley-based multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, painting, mural art, and installation. Formally trained at Gage Academy of Art under Gary Faigin, Kimberly Trowbridge and Geoff Flack. She has deepened her practice by workshop attendance with nationally and internationally recognized teaching artists.
Outside the studio, Christina is a big soccer fan - Go Sounders! She also tends an annual dahlia crop, traces family ancestry and stays grounded by her four children, who first earned her the title of soccer mom, and her five grandchildren.
Stay tuned for the debut of 'The Beautiful Game' — an exclusive Made In Washington collaboration designed to welcome the global soccer community to the Pacific Northwest later this year. See a preview of her work on our Seattle's Storied Soccer History blog.
