Christine Vaillancourt’s paintings draw from contemporary industrial urban design and architecture with a nod to patterns and designs of the 1950s. Vaillancourt’s family had a long history with the automotive and aeronautic design industry. Her father evolved into home design and construction. Growing up in this creative atmosphere, Vaillancourt developed a passion for the transportation, architectural and industrial concepts of the times.

In 2014, the MBTA selected Vaillancourt to be one of the public artists for the new Green Line Extension, ridership expected in 2022. Her paintings are represented in glass on the elevator and on two 4’ x 8’ porcelain enamel on steel platform panels at Ball Square Station, Somerville. This is her first public art project, continuing her family’s connection to transportation.

Christine Vaillancourt earned her degrees from UNC @CH and RISD. She taught art in the public schools in Middletown, RI and Newton, MA until 2014. She resides in the Artist Building Cooperative in Fort Point, Boston, where she has her studio.

Vaillancourt’s paintings are in private and corporate collections in the US and Canada. She is represented by Nikola Rukaj Gallery, Toronto; Dean Day Gallery, Houston; and Andrea Schwartz Gallery, San Francisco.

Work is Geometric Abstraction influenced by the Bauhaus and Post Modern Art.
