Christine Lovelock, a Pilton resident artist since 1998, paints mainly in pastels and acrylics, sometimes in oils or watercolour, and mainly from memory. She tries to recapture moments of intense experience, usually connected with the weather and the changing light in the landscape.

In 2007 she presented an exhibition, "A Walk round Devon", the Devon countryside being her main source of inspiration.

Before becoming an artist, she was a writer, and before that an athlete when she won the World Veteran`s 10K Road Race Championships, competing at distances from 800 metres to 10 miles. In February 2005 she set up the Artists Against Wind Farms website which shows work by artists from all over Britain and the rest of the world, supporting those fighting to preserve the countryside and wild places from industrial sized wind turbines in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Kansas, Vermont and the rest of the world. She is the daughter of environmental scientist James Lovelock and worked as his assistant in the family business for many years.
