Chrissy Stone - Fine Artist
RSS Feeds:
Christine Stone was born in Shropshire in 1960. She had a deep love of art and especially drawing throughout her childhood and throughout her teenage years attended various evening classes. At school she was often known for making quick sketches of her classmates, probably when she was meant to be doing other things! She had a guaranteed place at Art College but as work in the art sector was very scarce at the time, she went on to a more conventional occupation.
Whilst she retained her love of the arts, visiting galleries and exhibitions, the demands of full time occupation and family life meant it was to be thirty years later before she found herself contemplating some serious artwork again.
She picked up the threads slowly and began painting and drawing again, sometimes fantasy creatures such as fairies and dragons but then moving on to more realistic work of animals and nature, which she loves.
To complement her art, she is also passionate about photography and spends most weekends outdoors capturing material to inspire her art.
