Chris Ann Ambery is an artist who works in a wide variety of medium from watercolor to encaustics. She was born in 1965 and raised in Bayside, New York. She studied Illustration at Parsons School of Design in New York City and continued to study at the Passalaqua School of Drawing and Illustration. Currently she is pursuing an MFA at LIU Post. Although she considers herself a painter she has recently begun working with printmaking focusing on the various etching and silk screen techniques. Chris Ann’s work is often inspired by the color and movement of life and the world around her. Most recently her work has been focused on the shape. line and movement of dance. The philosophy that Chris Ann embraces is that the joy that one gets from creating art cannot be kept to oneself it is meant to be shared. It is this philosophy that led her to begin teaching drawing, painting, and watercolor classes at local galleries in the Smithtown area where she currently resides.
