Chris Foster

Chris Foster creates semi-representational landscape and flower paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour that use expressive colour and light … sprinkled with a touch of whimsy.

Chris has always been an admirer of the brushstrokes and techniques of Chinese/Japanese art and will often incorporate some line work influenced by those cultures. A more recent discovery has been creating collage and mixed media pieces....again embracing line work and shapes.

Growing up on the Canadian prairies -Chris now spends 5 months every year in the beauty of the forests and lakes of the Canadian Shield. This has provided her with landscapes that offer a kaleidoscope of colour and amazing light which provide never ending inspiration. This home turf coupled by some amazing cultural world trips have become her painting catalogue.
