Welcome to California native artist Kris deYoung's online art gallery. The oil painting to the right is found in the desert and commonly called a Chuparosa (Spanish for "Suck Rose"- as hummingbirds are attracted to its nectar).

There are many beautiful images of native plants, flowers and other scenes found in Southern California. Feel free to browse through these pages and enjoy the paintings, drawings, photography, jewelry designs, and giclee' reproductions.

In her "Natives Series" Kris presents the juxtaposition of abstract and representational artistic styles, while informing about the intrusion of man, represented by hard-edge elements, into the botanical habitat of southern California's beautiful native plant communities.
