Garry Oak Gallery Artist of the Month: Chris Cozine

Chris was born and raised in the Puyallup Valley while it was still a farm community. She was raised on a small farm nestled against a hill, so she had lots of ponds, creeks, trees, and fields along with Mt. Rainier from which to draw her inspiration.  Her love of nature is what inspires her paintings, although she occasionally does a still life, floral, and/or portrait.  She has won several first place awards in juried art shows, and a “Peoples’ Choice” award at the Washington State Fair. She does landscapes, abstract and sometimes abstract landscapes.  “I have done paintings that look very photo-like; but nature and photographers do that so well, I like to create something a little impressionistic and unique, but still appealing.”
