Kris Burrows - Bush and Beach Chalk Pastel Artist

Arataki Bush Scene

Kris is a self taught artist, painting landscapes en plein air using chalk pastels. Her inspiration is being in nature, capturing the interplay of colour and form and the changing energy that animates it. Having grown up in the UK, before living in Titirangi the past 20 years, the differing light and moods of the two countries are a fascinating study.

Kris particularly enjoys sitting in the bush responding to the way the light changes the textures, colours and patterns of the surrounding forest. At other times she may be spotted at a harbour beach, working quickly as the tide pushes its way in.

Energy flows and cascades through the landscape, creating  a dance between the various forms, affecting their apparent fluidity, solidity and prominence. Chalk pastels give the opportunity to both draw and paint simultaneously and have a vibrancy and rough medium like the earth itself.
