Chris has always been captivated by the quality of light — how it shifts throughout the day, casts shadows, reveals texture, and creates contrasts that change the mood of a landscape. Much of Chris’ practice begins with simply observing: the sky, the horizon and the way light moves over hills or across water.

​

Working primarily in acrylics, Chris creates abstracted landscapes that capture the atmosphere of a moment rather than depict a specific place. She is drawn to the vastness of the sky, the sense of openness, and the subtle emotional tone light can bring to a scene.

Living in Sussex, Chris takes constant inspiration from her surroundings — from the rolling South Downs to the windswept beaches around Brighton. These landscapes are both grounding and expansive, familiar and mysterious. Chris uses a range of mark-making techniques and layered applications to explore texture, rhythm, and space within her compositions.

Chris studied a Foundation in Art at Worthing and then a Degree in Graphic Design. She runs art courses from her studio in Buxted, East Sussex.
