A love of the countryside where she lives and the sea are the influences for the realist and abstract works that Kris produces.

Born and raised in Nottinghamshire, England, Kris has been developing and exhibiting her artwork since she went to Art College, as a mature student, in 1995.

As a published photographer working under a pseudonym she also uses photographs in artworks and vice versa
Nowadays her time is split between painting in the studio and working on digital paintings, images and ideas taken from her store of over 30,000 photographs.

Kris has won awards in both the UK and the USA.
Artworks hang in the USA, the UK, Europe and Australia.
