Juror of Selection and Awards: Christine Ivers

 

Christine Ivers, Juror
The artwork of Christine Ivers has been described as vibrant and textural with dynamic light. Teaching is all part of the artist’s life as she dedicates herself to help others to hone their talents in order to better express themselves through whatever medium they prefer to work in.

Chris attained a BFA in painting and two-dimensional design from Hartford Art School in 1973 and found work in the advertising field for the last 40 years, after which she returned to her love of painting.

She is the Past-President of the CT Pastel Society, former member of PSA Board of Governors where she is a Master Pastelist, and was inducted into the IAPS Master Circle of Pastelists. She is a current board member of IAPS and is affiliated with numerous pastel societies and art organizations.

Chris and her husband David live in Central Connecticut.
