Chris’ passion is painting figures, she enjoys portraying her view of the world, like the charm of children at play, ballerinas’ or people enjoying the different aspects of life. Her paintings capture precious moments in everyday life that tell a story, appealing to a wide audience and hence her work is very popular.
