Christina Xiao Whitt

I  have been a lifelong advocate of the arts . Starting my journey in the arts as photographer, I pursued fashion and music photography. 

As time went on, I delved into arts education, art history, and have been a secondary arts educator and arts curriculum creator . Working with youth and helping them develop a personal vision had been gratifying. Because I enjoy developing meaningful and effective resources for my students, I created Dali’s Moustache  Art Source, a secondary arts resource shop. 

I an avid traveler, traveling to over 42 countries and counting! The love of travel started in college when I studied in Rome. I have been a recipient of numerous fellowships abroad including Japan, China, Turkey, and Korea. I was also a Fulbright scholar to India. My love of travel had has blossomed into a love of Asia. Lately, I have been experimenting with street photography with a rangefinder as a new challengel

I also enjoy drawing and collage. I am interested in autobiographical and spiritual themes, as well intuitive works in collage, which sometimes form the foundations for later drawings.

I am married to someone who has a passion for to travel too and am  the proud parent of two amazing children, who are becoming citizens of the world

Please enjoy my site as I continue to add new photos and art.
