Artist's Bio
Primarily an oil
painter, Chris is known for figural works and interior scenes. Her sports
figures, dancers and diners have shown in regional, national, and international
exhibitions, earning awards. Her landscapes, florals and still lifes have earned
many awards as well.
After graduating
from Western Michigan University's Fine Arts program, Chris married and concentrated
on raising and supporting a family. After moving to Indiana, Chris picked up a brush
to paint for the first time in a quarter of a century. Within a few months a First
in Oils from the Professional Division of the Indianapolis Art Center began the
accumulation of awards. Recently, with the youngest child grown and independant,
Chris has expanded from state and midwest shows to national and international
exhibitions.
Chris has studied with
David Leffel, Greg Kreutz, Ken Backhaus, George Strickland, David Slonim, C.W.
Mundy, Carolyn Anderson, and Ken Auster.
