Christine West’s favorite thing is saying “yes.” As a community connector, curator, and art administrator, she cultivates opportunities for artists. An advocate for local creatives, she curates and juries exhibitions, reviews grant proposals, and assists artists in developing their careers. In 2021, she formed DesignsW, LLC, which specializes in providing a variety of digital, creative, and professional services. Her visual art practice focuses on analog collage and repurposing two-dimensional ephemera. Currently living in Albuquerque, she has exhibited in Texas and New Mexico.
