The theme and goal in all of Christina Craemer’s work is to create a sanctuary for meditation.  Her unique ability to engulf and transport the viewer by creating powerful images of peace and refuge is nothing less than magical and inspirational.  Christina Craemer continues to explore the natural wonder of every fall, the excitement of the journey to discover the magic and power of each drop of water and the distinct energy and emotion that each environment naturally creates.  She strives to bring the beauty and majesty of these phenomenal natural wonders to life through various mediums.  “I love both the photographic medium and the gestural process of painting.  I feel each has a quality that represents the actual experience, but in different ways.  One is more literal while the other is more transformative.  Each represents for me the emotion of the experience of my journey on the planet and through this artistic process.”

Founded in 1991, Imago Galleries is considered one of the West Coast's premier contemporary galleries. Often mistaken for a boutique museum, the 18,000-square-foot gallery also has a sculpture garden and terrace. More than an architectural icon, owner Leisa Austin strives for curatorial excellence in bringing groundbreaking exhibitions of the highest caliber to the desert, as Imago Galleries celebrates 25 years on the West Coast art scene.
