Christine Buckton Tillman hails from the great Northern Chicago suburb of Libertyville, IL-home of the Wildcats. Buckton is her maiden name but she made it her middle name because she takes her grandmother's advice. She acquired the last name of Tillman when she married a nice boy from Maryland who she met in year four of her seven-year stint as an Iowan. She earned her BA at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, and earned her MFA from the University of Iowa. She lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland.

Christine has been a member of the Drawing Center Viewing Program and received a Maryland State Arts Council Grant for her Works on Paper. She has worked collaboratively with Lisa Solomon since 2015 on their project Chroma where they collect and categorize object by color.
