Chriss Whipple Hardy began her art career at an early age, and studied on scholarship at the prestigious Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and NYU. After giving birth to twin boys, Chriss left her career in commercial graphic design to pursue her passion of fine art. Since moving to Tennessee, Chriss has shown work at numerous galleries (Bennett, Hanson, Local Color, etc). Today Chriss is using her talents to design custom color schemes and finishes, as well as continuing to paint on canvas.
