Christine G. Pope is a graphic designer and artist who has called Bridgewater, New Jersey home for over forty years.
A graduate of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, Christine launched her career as an Art Director at Turchette Advertising in 1976, where she created marketing campaigns for clients including the New Jersey Devils, New Jersey Nets, and New Jersey Generals during the early days of cable television and regional sports marketing. She went on to establish C.G. Pope Design Inc., her own freelance graphic design studio, where she served pharmaceutical clients as a consulting art director for over 25 years—interpreting creative briefs, developing campaign concepts, and managing projects from rough sketches to polished finals.
Over the years, she collaborated with agencies including McCann Healthcare Worldwide, Torre Lazur Healthcare Communications, and Commonhealth on campaigns for brands like Claritin, Lunesta, and Mucinex.
When Christine retired in 2015, she wasn’t sure what would come next. Five years later, she started experimenting with acrylics—something she’d never had time for during her commercial art career. She especially enjoys painting landscapes and pet portraits. She’s also an avid photographer.
Christine lives in Bridgewater with her husband of 45 years. She recently became a grandmother and keeps a collection of over 250 succulents.
