Christine Haworth was born in Blackburn in Lancashire, England and has been drawing and painting since early childhood.
After graduating with a degree in illustration Christine started her career as a freelance illustrator and a figurative artist. She presented her work at many exhibitions in the late 70's and 80's and received excellent reviews.
By the early 90's Christine had become an established artist and was selected to design the Isle of Man Christmas Stamp in 1993. Soon after the success of this project Christine made the decision to branch out into licensing her designs under the Crisalis Brand.
