Savant Garde interviews Christina Marie Fong
Alissa Greenberg of Savant Garde interviewed Christina Marie Fong in an article titled "Love (and Celebrity) Makes a Family" published on April 5, 2015. In her interview with Fong, writer Greenberg perfectly captures Fong's “diva-like and flamboyant but not condescending” persona. On the interplay of Fong's personality and her artwork, Greenberg writes,
"By simplifying well-known figures into lines of ink and paint, Christina reduces the distance between celebrity and ordinary people and builds intimacy in its place. Her talent at bridging that distance extends to everyday life. She exudes warmth and energy (which she attributes in part to her high caffeine intake), gives out hugs generously, and thrives in a strong social network at Creativity Explored."
