Christina Akerson: Abstract Painter Blending Emotion and Form

​

Huntington Beach, CA — Christina Akerson is an American abstract painter whose work captures the dynamic interplay between realism and abstraction with a uniquely expressive voice. Recognized early for her talent through award-winning submissions to the Monterey County Art League, Akerson began her formal artistic journey in high school and continued her development under the mentorship of expressionist painters in New Mexico and San Francisco.

​

Her contemporary work explores the figures within abstract settings, drawing from a fusion of Realism, Impressionism, and Neo-Expressionism. Through a richly layered approach, Akerson creates emotionally resonant paintings that invite both reflection and connection.

Akerson is currently represented by The Art Project Paia in Maui, Hawaii, and The Hangar in Los Angeles. She is a two-time Best in Show winner at the Sunset Beach Art Festival and has exhibited at The Other Art Fair (Los Angeles and Brooklyn, NY), completed a residency at The Quorum Gallery in Laguna Beach, and shown her work at Art-A-Fair, Laguna Beach City Hall, and Ghostwolf Gallery in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
