Christine Boswijk is a ceramic artist based in Nelson, New Zealand. Her work focuses strongly on the emotive and sculptural possibilities of clay, creating works that prompt a reaction and affinity from the viewer rather than presenting them with a narrative series.
Boswijk completed her training in ceramics in 1977 at Otago Polytechnic's School of Fine Art. In 1988 she was awarded a QEII Arts Council grant for post-graduate study which she undertook at the East Sydney Technical College. This was an important period in Boswijk's creative development, which saw her move away from the hand built vessels for which she was known. Instead she began looking towards New Zealand, the strong horizontal and vertical landscape elements of her environment here, elements which crept into her works and continue to be an important part of them today.
Boswijk's work is inherently about clay - how is it sourced, handled, fired and used in everyday life. Her hand built works have a feeling of being ancient, perhaps drawn from the artist's awareness of both the primary nature of the medium and the role it has played throughout human history. Boswijk approaches clay intuitively rather than traditionally; building, wrapping, layering and bandaging to create a multi-faceted form which resonates with hidden ideas and relationships. This is a significant diversion from much of New Zealand studio ceramics and has created an aesthetic language which remains synonymous with Boswijk's practice.
In 2004, Boswijk was made an Officer of The New Zealand Order of merit for services to Ceramic Art.

Christine Boswijk是一位以紐西蘭納爾遜為基地的陶藝家。她的作品著重於表達黏土於情感上及雕塑上的各種可能性。他的創作意在激發觀者的反應與共鳴，而非只是狹隘地呈現出一系列的作品。
1977年，Boswijk於奧塔哥公立技術學院完成陶藝訓練，隔年在East Sydney Technical College又得到研究所獎助學金。這段時期對Boswijk在創作發展上而言，十分重要。她漸漸遠離了所熟習的手製器皿，而開始吸收紐西蘭的山光水色所給予她的創作元素。時至今日，這些元素仍是她作品中重要的一部分。
Boswijk的作品與黏土習習相關──從如何取得、處理、窯燒以至如何在日常生活中使用。她的作品有著古老的感覺，也許這來自於她對黏土的原始本性及其貫穿人類歷史所扮演的角色有著雙重的意識所導致。 為達成上述的成果，Boswijk所運用的方法既創新且多樣化。她直覺地處理黏土，而非只是依循傳統；由造型、包裹、層疊以至綑綁等方式，來創造多面向的形式，與潛藏的想法和關係共振互鳴。相較於許多紐西蘭工作坊陶藝，這是一個重大的轉變，並創造了一種美學上的語言。

2004年， Boswijk更因其對陶瓷藝術之功勳，被封為紐西蘭殊勳勳銜女爵士。
