All about Chrissie

Chrissie graduated with a diploma in Multimedia Development during that course she received a scholarship “Aliant Women in Non-traditional IT Programs Scholarship” once she graduated from that course she felt there was still something holding her back from the creative ideas she had in her head and getting them either on paper or on the computer screen. She enrolled into a Visual Arts program. In April of 2006, she graduated with Visual Arts diploma and received the highest award from the college “President’s Medal of Excellence”.

Her main focus in the Visual Arts program was Printmaking and Photography. She currently works with many mediums from printmaking, photography, and painting. She loves to try new techniques and likes to experiment.

She is a member of three artist associations the Bay St George Artist Association, League of Artists of Western Newfoundland and VANL.
