ART IN AMERICA

"She has arrived at her excursions into the dollhouse of dreams very much on her own......and the Mysteries pictured are almost as funny and sweet as they are disturbing. A distinctly American imagination is at work here."

Gerrit Henry

ARTS

  "Christin Couture draws aside the velvet curtain to reveal the darker side of childhood that lurks deep in every pubescent breast........She couches these hidden urges in the sugar coating of a Victorian daydream....."

Nina ffrench-frazier

NEW YORK TIMES

"In Miss Couture dollhouse world, tiny figures are seen in intimate poses, but can be glimpsed only through curtains. There is an ominous foreboding, a sense of impending violence in these quiet settings that compels the viewer to make a periodic check to see if all is still well."

Helena A. Harrison

OPTIMIST

  "WIT, WONDER AND WOW! "Christin Couture's figurative , sensual, and detailed paintings steal the show."

Mary Kelleher

NY POST MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM

  "Christin Couture paints with exquisite attention to detail. The precision in her work is such that it resembles manuscript illumination in leaf. her surfaces are almost like enamel.... ......'her work has potent surreal overtones. In "Soiree", for example, nude figures waltz in a land of trees, lawns, and oil lamps."

Phillip Issacson
