Biography

After studying at UC Berkeley and the Sorbonne in the 1970's, Christina apprenticed in Paris at a fourth-generation stained-glass studio where she worked on the restoration of stained-glass windows throughout France, including the famed windows of Chartres. During her training, she mastered all the elements of designing, detailing and shaping glass as an art form.

Christina has since developed highly innovative techniques for bas-relief carving in heavy plate glass and crystal. She also discovered and refined a method of creating true V-cut letterforms in glass. Thanks to her expertise and innovations, Amri Studio produces some of the most unique art glass and signage available today.

In addition to leading the team at Amri Studio, Christina is often asked to consult and collaborate with the country's top architects and interior and graphic designers, as well as corporate and private administrators.
