Christine Chaplin Brush (May 1842 – February 3, 1892) was an American flower painter and author.

Christine Chaplin was born on May 1842 in Bangor, Maine.[1] She was the daughter of two authors, Jane Dunbar Chaplin and the Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin.[2]

Chaplin painted primarily watercolors of wildflowers. She studied with Charles Chaplin and Henri Harpignies in Paris. Her works Petunias and Nasturtiums were reproduced as chromolithographs by Louis Prang.[1] She taught drawing at the State Normal School in Framingham, Massachusetts.[2]

Her novel The Colonel's Opera Cloak (1879) was initially published anonymously as part of the No Name Series from the publishers Roberts Brothers. She also wrote short stories and poems for a number of magazines.[2]

In 1878 she married the Rev. Alfred H. Brush. He became pastor of the New Utrecht Reformed Church and her book Inside Our Gate (1889) is about their life in New Utrecht.[3]

Christine C. Brush died on 3 February 1892 in New Utrecht, New York.[2]
