Subtle or dynamic, lush color combinations that enhance architecture define Cristina Acosta's color sensibility. A lifelong artist with a University degree in painting, Cristina's love of color is rooted in practical aesthetic principles. Her extensive knowledge of color theory and application ensure that the color palette she develops with the client will look great on the walls. "Choosing colors is the first step to creating a foundation color palette. Sensitively melding those colors with architecture makes the palette a success," says Cristina.

Born in Los Angeles, Cristina is steeped in the vibrant multi-cultural influences of the West Coast and brings that spirit to her work as a color consultant. You've seen her artistry in a variety of books and magazines including her successful art book Paint Happy. She's a regular contributor to Latina Style magazine, writing her design column, Su Casa. Cristina lives in Bend, Oregon with her family.
