She has already exhibited works in the Brugger Zimmermannhaus and in August 2019 in the Galerie am Lindenhof in Zurich: Christine Staehelin is an artist and graphic designer. She has lived in New York for 25 years. Last year she painted a portrait of Greta Thunberg, among other things. The 57-year-old admires the determination and perseverance as well as the courage and clarity of the young climate protection activist and feels connected to her. Because nature and “the survival of as many ways of life as possible in this very risky time on earth” are also close to Staehelin’s heart.
