Landscape and still life are two aspects of our environment that Chris enjoys trying to capture on canvas or paper. Spending focused time trying to preserve what she sees around her motivates her to keep working.
Oil paint, soft pastels, coloured pencils, or graphite are used to lay down the subjects and are familiar old friends to her. Sometimes, she works on location, finishing at one go, or goes back to her studio to complete her work. At other times, she works from photos taken at the desired site if time does not permit an attempt in place.
Chris also enjoys still-life painting, finding it personally creative. Being able to put together a pleasing composition, controlling the lighting, and working at her own pace is very fulfilling. Her studio reflects the eclectic objects she uses, containing a variety of interesting bottles, birds’ nests, and anything else she finds compelling as a possible component of a still life composition.
