There are many beautiful images of native plants, flowers and other scenes found around the world, but mostly in southern California. Feel free to browse through these pages and enjoy the paintings, drawings, photography, and giclee' reproductions. Contact the artist at 858-888-2360 to get more information about which images are available as giclee reproductions on 300# linen canvas or 300# cotton rag watercolor paper.

In her "Native Plants 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 our planet's beautiful native plant communities. She is currently working toward 100 native plant portraits, but has painted many other venues and does a separate series of sunrise/sunset landscapes. The image below shows Kris between Toyon and Mojave Agave at the Artists Alley in San Francisco. Two other paintings in the gallery are Flowering Sycamore Tree and Chinese Hawthorn Berry.  She is working on #58 - 62 of her series of native plants.
