​After many years involved in science and

engineering and a Masters degree in

surface engineering, a career change enabled

Chris to gain a First Class Honours degree

in Fine art.  

 

Chris is continuing to develop a wide variety of

projects including installations, paintings, collage  

and textiles.  Her work ranges from historical themes

to light-hearted ventures with serious undertones.  

More recently she has returned to her first love of

painting.
