It is with great sadness that we
have to announce that Christie Robinson passed away on Wednesday 8 November in London where she
was undergoing cancer treatment.
Her funeral will take place in
London on the 27th November
Christie was a pupil of Luc
Veger and one of the founders of the Hangar after his death. She was a honorary member of the association in recognition of her
contribution to the start-up of the Hangar.

For
more than 10 years, Christie was a teacher at the Hangar. She was always
pushing her students to higher levels, inspiring them to try new mediums – to work larger – to experiment. She
was always encouraging and managed to get her students to excel.

Christie herself was an interesting and serious artist, who experimented and developed her style by working
in different mediums – clay, resin, plaster, bronze – and more recently in
metal.

Some of Christie's recent work:
All of us who knew her, have memories of her
gentle personality.
Her students remember her for everything that she taught
them.
And for never giving up on a sculpture.
She will be deeply missed.
Our
thoughts go to her family.
