Christina Bridges Glover (b. 1995) is an interdisciplinary creative whose work spans many areas of expertise, with a recent focus on Sculpture, over a decade of Graphic Design experience, and a lifetime of being an artist.  Christina is finishing a BFA Program at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. When they graduate, they will hold two bachelor's degrees—a BFA in Studio Art: Sculpture, a BFA in Art Education, and a minor in Art History. Since returning to college in 2022, Christina has maintained a consistent 4.0 GPA and earned a spot on the President’s list for every semester enrolled. The artwork they have created within the program at UNT has earned them a place in 4 different gallery showcases since 2022, and they have been awarded two merit-based scholarships. Christina holds many skills under the bounds of being an interdisciplinary creative– they are fully proficient and confident with the Adobe suite design programs, and they know how to use and operate types of machinery such as Epilog laser cutters, CNC plasma cutters, handheld plasma cutters, MIG welders, CNC routers, 3D printers, and more. Christina also knows the basics of ceramics, painting, woodworking, screenprinting, relief printmaking, mold making and casting, sewing, projection mapping, animation, video editing, photography, and more.

 

For Christina’s graphic design work, they focus on quick and effective communication. Christina believes all things within a graphic communicate a message: everything from the color palette selected to the fonts used to the space within the composition all work together to communicate. Creating a graphic harmonizing all these elements is their main philosophy and practice when approaching a new project. Colors generate feelings, shapes create feelings, and knowing how to use these as a communication tool is what Christina does best. Their work experience spans many different jobs, working for digital and print graphics and creating logos, websites, event advertisements, invitations, booklets, programs, business cards, and more.

 

For Christina's sculptural work, they often like to focus on making the memory space tangible and less delicate, often using text or photographs in their pieces as an act of memorialization. When not playing within the memory space, Christina likes to define the relationship between politics and art. Christina believes art and its respective creation is a powerful tool to tell the story of our realities and our NOW. Christina’s sculptural work does not stay within the confines of one particular medium, and their portfolio consists of diverse materials such as acrylic, wood, metal, resin, foam, fabric, and more.
