Cris in a Nutshell

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Cris, the artist and creative mind behind these vibrant pieces. Born and inspired by the rich colours of Mexico I now reside in the heart of Christchurch. My art is a celebration of life and nature, infused with experiences from my travels.

At my studio, you'll find a variety of offerings – from unique art prints to custom illustrations, each piece is designed to add a splash of joy and colour to your space. As a passionate artist, I'm committed to creating works that not only beautify walls but also resonate with your spirit.

In need of something special? I'm here to turn your ideas into art. Whether it's a custom piece or licensing existing designs, I ensure a seamless and personal experience. Join me in this colourful journey and let's make your world a little brighter!

Five Facts About Me:

  1. Globetrotter at Heart: I’ve visited 25 countries, and each one has inspired at least one piece of my art.

  2. Colour Love: My absolute favourite colour is Mexican Pink (yup, it’s a real shade of pink!) - you’ll see it pop up a lot in my works!

  3. Morning Ritual: I can't start my day without a cup of green tea, a wee walk and a quick meditation.

  4. Music for the Soul: While painting, I usually tune into classical music, jazz or ambient.

  5. Nature Enthusiast: When I'm not painting, I love heading to the mountains near Christchurch for a good hike.
