Chris Dickson

 

Chris Dickson is a long-time artist in Smiths Falls and belongs to several art associations in the area where she values the learning experience she gets from workshops, speakers and other artists.  In her career, Chris was a professional photographer with a studio in Belleville.  Having a skilled eye with her camera also was put to test on the many adventures she went on with her family.  Traveling across Canada and spending much time in the wilderness, canoes, tents and on trails, gave Chris many beautiful images that she would eventually paint.

 

Always an artist in one form or another, painting became her main passion around 2010.  Since then, she has experimented with many mediums, subjects and techniques, rarely venturing too far off the path of realism.  Chris’ medium of choice is either acrylic or oil depending on the subject.  Oil, is typically used when she paints portraits and acrylic for everything else.

 

When not behind the easel, Chris can usually be found with her family, her dog or in her garden.
