Christina Uebelein was born in Maryland, raised in Europe, and moved to the Islands in 1967. She received a Masters in Architecture degree and a Certificate in Historic Preservation from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Her sculptures embody the aesthetics of assemblage, Surrealism, and Nouveau Realisme -- art forms in which natural and manufactured, traditionally non-artistic materials and objets trouvés are assembled into three-dimensional structures. Her constructions combine organic, geometric, fantastical, allegorical, and marvelous elements into a unified whole. Her sculptures have been in many juried exhibitions both locally and on the mainland.
