Christine Mercer-Vernon is a contemporary American painter living and working in south central Pennsylvania.

Born outside Philadelphia, her family relocated to the mountains of northern Pennsylvania when she was ten. Surrounded by woods and streams, she spent her time exploring nature on her terms, developing a deep curiosity for the natural world.

After graduating college with a degree in graphic arts, she worked for twenty years as a medical and educational textbook illustrator and graphic designer, while continuing her artistic studies, taking workshops with Jon DeMartin, Carlo Russo, and Lisa Gloria.

Christine resides in York, where she works from her home studio, surrounded by nature on a wooded property.
