Other Mediums
Beyond
watercolor paintings, Chris' artistic talents are evident in other mediums.
Portland, Oregon caught the "Kows for Kids" fundraising event
fever. Following other cities/countries (Switzerland, New York, Chicago,
Cape Town-South Africa, etc.) Portland invited 108 top local artists
to turn these life-sized blank fiberglass bovines into works of art.
After public display, they were auctioned at a gala event benefiting
local children's agencies.
Chris transformed her animal into "Kids Kowstruction", sponsored
by Walsh Construction. "Kids Kowstruction" is now in its permanent
home at the entrance to the Children's Museum in Portland, Oregon.
Chris is an avid gardener,
which has also been the inspiration for many award-winning paintings.
In July 2009, the Oregonian did a feature article in the Home & Garden
section. Click here to see the article
A
Watercolorist Uses Her Yard as a Canvas.
She is frequently asked to let garden clubs and fundraising events tour
or use her garden, including the Hardy
Plant Society of Oregon "Study Weekend." The
garden and her related artwork have been featured in numerous books, magazines,
on note cards and posters as well as on TV programs. Two of her floral
paintings were included in the books Best
of Flower Painting I and Best
of Flower Painting II. Better Homes and Gardens magazine
has featured her garden in two issues and also in the book Garden
Color. Her garden is featured in Portland author Barbara
Ashmun's book titled Garden
Retreats: Creating an Outdoor Sanctuary. She is also
in Garden
Thoughts: Photographs, Quotes and Inspiration for the Gardener
by Gene Sasse. Channel 6 has twice featured her as the Artist in the Garden
on their program "Dig It."
