ARTBOMB IS A DAILY ART AUCTION
FEATURING A DIFFERENT ARTWORK
BY A RISING CANADIAN ART STAR.
ARTbomb is coming to Vancouver. We can sure use all the help we can get here on the west coast.
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be a featured artist. The artwork that I’ve seen so far in their daily auctions is of a high caliber. And I love the idea of getting to see a new piece of contemporary Canadian art every day in my inbox.

Artist Reception - Saturday, January 12, 2013, 1-3pm
Please join myself, and four other artists in the snazzy new Vancity, while we host an informal show and tell of our recent art commissions.
Vancity Branch #17 in South Burnaby
5064 Kingsway, Burnaby BC (Community Stage)
Welcome to the Community
28 x 50”
This piece was commissioned by Vancity for their LEED-certified, prototype branch in South Burnaby. Vancity is Canada’s largest community credit union, with a focus on developing healthy, sustainable communities. I am continually impressed with all that they are doing. For example, in April 2008, Vancity officially announced it had achieved carbon neutrality, two years ahead of schedule and the first North America based financial institution to do so.
Welcome to the Community was inspired by the designers and architects, around the world, that are currently building developments that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable and affordable for all. They are being designed and built with the community - not for the community, therefore individual needs are met with efficiency and less resources. There is also a greater sense of pride and responsibility within the community when designing in this way.
This work was created using repurposed and natural materials such as found tree branches, needle-felted wool elements that I make myself, magazine clippings, cardboard, and many layers of newspaper.

Here is a piece from my new series, “outside inside”, on view @CultureCrawl this weekend.
The Christina Norberg ART BOOK
I am very excited to announce that I have my very first art book coming out. It will be a limited edition printing, so each book will be signed and numbered.
This 20-page, 8 x 8” hardcover book spans my work over the last five years. It was a pleasure selecting some of my favourite work, and quite illuminating seeing the work all together in one collection. I also write a bit about my inspirations and intent as an artist.
