Christine Seubert Bourque

CHRISTINE SEUBERT BOURQUE Passed with grace and magic on February 15 in Los Cerrillos, NM, surrounded by love. A painter and printmaker, Chris moved to Cerrillos in 1970 from Brooklyn, NY after receiving a Certificate in Illustration from Parsons School of Design. In New Mexico she found endless vistas to feed her artistic "wonderlust". Chris first exhibited her work in Santa Fe at the infamous 1977 First Annual Armory for the Arts Show, continued with solo and group shows in galleries and museums in New Mexico, Texas and Minneapolis, and culminated her career in 2012 with a solo show of her paintings and prints, titled Points of View, at the UNM Hospital in Albuquerque. Chris is survived by her husband George, mother Lorraine Seubert, sister Kathy and brothers Andrew and Xavier, many members of her extended family and a community of friends who have all been touched by her talent and faith in the power of imagination. Above all, Christine leaves the legacy of a huge and loving heart. A memorial service and exhibit of her work will be held at a date to be announced, and a fund established in Chris' name to benefit arts in education. Donations to that fund may be sent c/o Andrew Seubert, 3585 North Falls Road, Burdett, NY 14818.
