We discovered Christine’s stunning work in a Western Australian art gallery. We contacted Christine, who gave us a virtual tour of her art studio, where we discovered Christine’s unique Boab paintings. Because the space we needed to decorate was specific in colour and dimensions, Christine kindly offered to commission a painting. The process was efficient, professional and rewarding. The painting we have acquired is lovely and is a centre-piece in our favourite room.
I first came across Christine Hingston’s work in 2021 in a gallery in Kununurra, WA during a COVID stay! I walked into the gallery and there on the wall was a large luminous painting, The Mob. I love magpies and there seemed to be hundreds of them doing their own thing. The colours were beautiful and I loved the crackle finish of parts of the background. I came home but couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I tracked it down to Broome where it had moved to The Black Stump Gallery. I bought it of course and I have never regretted it. It shines at me every morning! About a year later Christine had an exhibition at The Black Stump and I had early access to the paintings for sale. I bought Oranges and Lemons a couple of minutes later – it just spoke to me and it still does, two aboriginal girls dancing with their three dogs. It’s large and colourful and full of energy. I needed another picture to go in my dining room and of course I thought of Christine! This time though I contacted her through Instagram and she agreed to paint me Tea for Two, with three dogs. You might think I’ve got enough Christine Hingston but I have a coffee table just crying out for her very quirky pottery!
We just wanted to say a big thankyou! our painting arrived today and will be proudly hanging on the wall by tonight . I know it will give us much pleasure in the years to come looking at all the interesting detail and colour added amongst the boab trees.
Thankyou once again
We first viewed Christine’s works of art in Kununurra in 2022. We were struck by the images of the Kimberly, particularly the dogs. Three years later when we were considering getting a new piece for our living area these images flooded back. We love our purchase and the memories it evokes of our Kimberly travels.
I have purchased many of Christine’s paintings over the years and really appreciate her fabulous creativity.
She uses such beautiful colours and weather painting beach life, the outback, florals or different cultures and people, her work always engenders such joy.
I love having Christine’s paintings hanging in my house.

We have six of Christine’s paintings, five from the Swahili Coast collection. We have travelled in East Africa and loved it. These beautiful paintings, with their vivid colours and wonderful interpretations of African life remind us of those travels every time we see them. Two of the large paintings take pride of place in the entry of our home. We really appreciate the personal delivery of our paintings and assistance with placement.
Christine is an incredibly talented artist, we love looking at her work on her website and wish we had more walls to fill.

We are so delighted to have this incredible painting in our home.
It is so much more vibrant and full of life than we expected and we are always finding new surprises hidden in the details.
Thanks you Christine, Paul and Brodie.
