Chris has always enjoyed and studied art, drawing and painting. Even as a child, Chris did charcoal drawings of friends, family, and others.
For the past 20 years, Chris has focused on oil painting with palette knife.
Chris enjoys oil painting in a variety of styles, primarily impressionist and abstract. Her paintings reflect love, color, spirit, and energy. She finds inspiration from the beauty of nature, sunsets, the sea, and space.
