Aguilera's Sister's Art Exhibition

Christina Aguilera's 15-year-old sister Rachel is having 20 of her own paintings exhibited in an art gallery - with a picture of Christina leading the way.

The young painter is being exhibited at a small gallery near Boston for one month - but gallery owner Michael Bryce thinks Rachel's work shows a great deal of promise - particularly the painting of her sister, which shows Christina in her underwear and stockings, covered by an open jacket.

Bryce says, "You can see her relationship with her sister through her art. The portrait of Christina sitting beside a piano is very striking."

However, according to Rachel's mother Shelly, painting is just one of her daughter's skills. She says, "Rachel is fortunate in that she's got quite a bit of talent in several areas. She writes her own songs - she has done for years - and also tosses around the idea of modelling or acting."
