About Christina

Christina Ruggieri is a New York–based illustrator and fine artist whose work captures both the playful spirit and soulful essence of her subjects.

Her custom pet and house portraits have become popular hostess and holiday gifts. A former marketing director, Christina enjoys partnering with brands—including Citarella, Citymeals on Wheels, Butterfield Market, Johnny Was, and J.McLaughlin—to create artwork and experiences that delight customers and generate sales.

She will be a vendor at this fall’s The Ticking Tent in Bedford, NY, and in spring 2026 will be an artist-in-residence at La Maison Beaumont, in a medieval village in France, where she’ll develop a collection of illustrated essays.
