CHRISTINA SPINA: Makeup Designer
Ever since she was a little girl, Christina Spina has
been infatuated with the art of disguise. Introduced
to horror and gore films at a young age by her two
older brothers, she adored Lon Chaney’s Phantom
& Boris Karloff as Frankenstein. It was only natural
that Christina would grow up to be a make up artist,
practicing the technique of special effects. With
a Fine Art background in Sculpture, Christina has
found a happy balance between her two passions;
beauty and gore. As an established artist living
in the city of Toronto, the OCAD Alumni has had
several art shows, produced memorable sculptures
and installations, leaving her crowds thoroughly
entertained. As an artist in the film, television, and
theatre worlds, her theatre credits include Evil Dead
The Musical, and Night of the Living Dead Live.
