Christine Coring began at the age of 3 with large paintings and great enthusiasm on the wallpapers of her parents' house, which, oddly enough, her parents did not really like. Christine eventually left the wallpaper alone and continued with illustrating. After studying communication design in Groningen (Netherlands) and Reykjavik (Iceland), she was drawn to the advertising world in Berlin und Hamburg. There she has worked as an art director for over 15 years and is a member of the Art Directors Club (ADC) in Germany. She loves to hatch wild ideas and make equally wild illustrations. To do so, she listens to loud guitar music (hence her middle name „Hardcoring“). She lives in Hamburg, Germany.
