Christine Brallier has been creating art since childhood and hasn't stopped! She grew up in Los Angeles, CA studying art and music through high school. Then, after years as a preschool teacher, she received her M.A. in psychology, focusing on children and art therapy. In 2005, she discovered and fell in love with the art of mosaics. Her award-winning art has been published in several books and her mosaics have been installed in public spaces, including a children's park in California, and Australia Zoo. Her first children's book, The Night Before Christmas, illustrated with her stained glass mosaics, was published in 2013 and she is currently working on her second one.
