Anselm Society Arts Guild Director

Christina is the director of the Anselm Society Arts Guild, and a co-host of the Believe to See Podcast. She is also a founding member of Cultivating magazine, where she is the Gardening columnist, and serves as a contributing member of the Jubilee Arts Collective.

Christina has been fascinated by beauty her whole life. In addition to writing, playing violin, and painting, several years ago she took on the laborious (but rewarding) task of nurturing a garden in the dismal soils of the Rocky Mountain foothills, and has eagerly employed her spade (alongside her pen) as a tool to cultivate and curate the beauty around her. 

She has two little gardeners-in-training who embody all these marvels and more in their merry little faces. She and her husband Brian are the founders of the Anselm Society based in Colorado Springs, whose mission and calling is a renaissance of the Christian Imagination.

In addition to below, her creative work can be found at LiveBeautiful.today and on Instagram.
