About the artist

Christine Shively Benjamin

American

Thank you for viewing my NIADA 2024 Artist Exhibit Album. I live in Carson City Nevada, and I’ve been a NIADA Artist Member since 2019.

My doll art took root in my joy of finding a penny in the lining of a pocket. First impressions are not worth much but with imagination, innovation, experimentation I would apply my life experiences to create my fabric figures. Turning the mundane into the marvelous has been a driving force in my creative life. Each piece I create has either an autobiographical element or emerges from my unique take on the world around me.
It is my hope that you will enjoy, and take your time to enter the world that I create from my imagination....a love of wordplay and storytelling, that takes shape with a mixture of vintage laces and trims, wool felt and a surprising array of strange and unexpected items. Each piece I create has either an autobiographical element or emerges from my unique take on the world around me.
