Christine Rabenold is a Chicago-based artist and an associate professor of art at North Central College, where she is currently serving as the Chair of Art and Design and served as the Student Gallery coordinator from 2009 until 2019. She teaches a variety of courses in ceramics, sculpture, three-dimensional design and advanced studies.

Her artwork tends to comment on, if not interrogate, aspects of memory, identity, class, and environmental issues. How we remember, what we choose to remember, what we choose to forget, how authentic these memories are, and how memory connects to one’s topographical environment are important questions in the work.
