Kris M

UK-based Kris M is an award-winning contemporary British painter and digital artist with an eclectic taste, and has for over thirty years been working on abstract and representational works.

Pop and impressionist paintings gave way to vividly coloured and tactile abstract pieces as the art evolved throughout time. Her abstract art's simple motif was "colour it beautiful," which she used as a declaration of emerging from the depths of depression and into the radiant light.

In 2024 the focus shifted to landscapes and seascapes in both abstract and realist forms.

She also uses her collection of over 30,000 photographs to create digital paintings, graphics, and other projects on the computer. Enough to keep her occupied for some time to come.

These are then processed and produced as prints.

Her artworks are held in collections in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia.

Kris has won awards in both the UK and the USA.
