About Chrissie Havers

 
 
  • Biography
    Hello. My name is Chrissie Havers.
     I have been painting for many years and would say that mostly I am self taught. I have a degree in English from TCD Dublin, but no fine art degree!
    I have exhibited in various galleries both local and further afield.
    Currently I am with Cambridge Contemporary Art and also Art in East Anglia Gallery in Bury St Edmunds Suffolk.
    I have had work exhibited with the SWA at the Mall Galleries London and also with Chelsea Art Society.
    As a member of Cambridge Open Studios I show work 2 weekends each July. The COS website gives details.

    Living in a rural area the landscape is my main inspiration.
    Ever since I was a child, I felt a keen appreciation of a ‘view’. I was brought up in a country setting so this probably enforced that sense of admiration.
     
    Colour is the driving force in my work. 
    I really enjoy putting together colour systems that ‘sing’ and landscape paintings particularly provide endless inspiration for this experimenting.
     I find that viewers enjoy the playful nature of the different colour system, and react positively.  

    Thankyou for looking at my artwork.
