Christina Salazar – Artist Spotlight

Please introduce yourself and briefly describe your art.
Hello, I’m Christina and my art medium is sterling silver jewelry. I call myself a jewelry artist.

What led you to be an artist and to share your art in Auburn Old Town Gallery?
I worked as a bench jeweler for over ten years and decided it was time to create my own designs. Auburn opened a larger venue, and I decided to sign up.

Where are you originally from?
I am originally from Sacramento.

What did you want to be when you were younger?
When I was younger, I wanted to be an artist; I didn’t know it would be a jewelry artist.

Tell us about a compliment that you’ve received that you’re most proud of.
I was complimented on how I make original pieces, and I was happy someone noticed because this is a gallery.

What’s one thing that has made you smile recently?
The sun setting through the trees gave me the idea of creating an art piece.
