Chrissy, a former geography teacher, discovered her passion for art through drawing. Her journey progressed when her mother-in-law, Mary Dore Falconer, introduced her to watercolour. It was through this formal training that Chrissy acquired skills she had previously missed as a self-taught artist. This new understanding of watercolour techniques ignited her creativity and encouraged her to experiment further with acrylics, expanding her artistic repertoire. The addition of acrylics allowed her to explore various styles and enhance her ability to express herself visually.
