Christina Smith

Christina Smith (b. 1951) is a silversmith living in Fullerton, California. Her work has a passion for "luxury," yet they speak to a modern mind with sharp lines and biting, narrative wit.

She creates brooches, boxes, purses, tea sets, and sculptures. Her works usually include a silhouetted flat figure. She studied with Arline Fisch at San Diego State University. She is currently an assistant professor at California State University, Fullerton and has taught also at the University of North Texas.
