Meet Chris
I’ve painted on and off for most of my life, but it wasn’t until a breast cancer diagnosis in 2012 that I truly stopped and asked myself what I wanted my life to look like.
The answer was clear.
I wanted to create.
I wanted to paint.
And I wanted to become the best artist I could possibly be.
That experience became a turning point in my life and the moment I fully committed to my art practice.
I was fortunate to find an incredible mentor who not only taught me so much technically, but also encouraged me to trust myself and develop my own unique style. Through years of exploration, experimentation, and plenty of trial and error, I discovered the palette knife — and everything clicked into place.
Oil paint and palette knives became my language.
They allowed me to express movement, energy, texture, freedom, and joy in a way that felt completely natural to me.
Originally from Liverpool, England, I now call the Northern Beaches of Sydney home — a place whose coastline, light, colour, and energy continually inspire my work.
I live with my husband and am incredibly proud of my daughter, Coral, who travels the world as a singer sharing her own creativity and joy with others.
I studied art years ago at the School of Colour & Design, but I believe some of the greatest lessons come from living life fully — travelling, observing nature, embracing change, and continuing to stay curious and open to inspiration.
Today, I feel incredibly grateful to combine painting, travel, and storytelling through my work, creating pieces that bring colour, vibrancy, and emotional connection into people’s homes and spaces.
Bye for now
Chris
