About the artist

 

Chris grew up in a family that loved the outdoors and that passion continues in her adult life.  A lot of her art focuses on the unlimited amount of beauty found in nature and our surroundings.  "The forest, a rocky shore or paddling my canoe are among the places that bring my heart happiness and inspire my art." 

​

Chris pursued photography in college and opened a professional photography studio in Belleville, ON.  "This taught me to focus on composition, light and colour.  I have captured many beautiful photographs in my travels that are now my muse for painting."  

​

Primarily a self taught artist, Chris paints mainly in acrylic but also in multi-media and oil.  Chris loves to try new things and the challenge of painting custom pieces gives her an opportunity to experiment and advance her skills.

​

Chris is an active member of the Rideau Lakes Artists Association, and of Arts Carleton Place and participates in as many local art shows as possible.
