Christine Payne is multi-talented - botanical artist, designer, book illustrator, printmaker, teacher, comedy writer, actress, needlewoman, sculptress and radio presenter.
The state of her finger nails, Christine claims to be a result of the collision of nature and Art, of Landcare and the ink roller, of rusted steel sculpture and foraging around in the tip.
Chris loves a giggle and does not mind Hungarians (after all, she is the other half of "Michael and Chris", and one DOES NOT go without the other), but will weep at the mention of maths.
