About the Item
While I continue to be inspired by real, tactile items such as plaster, wire, and concrete, in this new work, I explored how I integrate in each piece the peaceful and edgy sides of my nature, and thus my different mark making processes which support those qualities. The nature of this exploration was personal, resulting in multiple inflection points within the range which signified moments of discovery. Some pieces are less textured than others while I struggled to let go of my prior process norms; some pieces added in new materials and tools to step into uncharted, even risky, experiences; and several pieces display words that harken to and lean heavily on my spirituality calling my peace back to the forefront.
I was excited to be on my quest, but the studio days were exhausting because of what I was letting rise to the surface. A quote by Rick Rubin sums up the body of work nicely: “Our opportunity is to practice. And what wants to happen, will happen”. The exploration exposed vulnerability which expanded the work in ways I couldn’t have predicted. The common result across the broad range of paintings is more intuitive marks while still retaining a minimal quality that resonates with who I am and the found objects that inspire me. I hope viewers will find connecting points throughout the paintings which inspire, facilitate, and honor their own authentic explorations.
Born and raised in New Rochelle, New York, Chris evolved her work over the past two decades in her private studio in Vienna, Virginia. Her minimal abstract compositions - inspired by her consumption and study of random words and writing, music and lyrics, and deep meditation - explore powerful memories, visceral experiences and personal authenticity. Reflective of her edgy compositions, she applies mixed media in often non-conventional ways giving rise to compelling negative spaces, line work and oil color.
Chris’ work has produced a variety of series over the years, all with the common thread of providing evocative moments to her viewers.

- Coast to Coast by Lily Harrington, Large Abstract Painting on CanvasBy Lily HarringtonLocated in Atlanta, GALily was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She grew up surrounded by art (her grandmother, mother, aunt, and cousin are all artists). In 2011, her mother, Meg Harrington, opened Huff Harrington Fine Art, a serene and inviting gallery nestled in a quiet Atlanta neighborhood. From a young age, Lily was inspired by the beauty of the gallery, the talent of the artists and the beauty and integrity of the works hanging throughout the quaint little cottage. Her artistic journey began when she was a sophomore in high school. An Atlanta designer (and friend) suggested Lily paint a piece for an installation she was doing. Lily created the piece, the client loved it - and so it began. Lily’s now in her sixth year as a practicing artist. She recently graduated from the University of Georgia where she studied English and Cognitive Science - and painted throughout her college career. She is lucky to be able to continue to develop her artistic voice and experiment with new techniques with the help of endless love and support from friends and family. Her work has appeared in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and Better Homes...Category
