Dating back 300,000 years to the Cradle of Humankind, it is believed we share ancestry with other primates.

Chris has always been inspired by nature and it is reflected in her work. She is captivated by the colour, spontaneity and wonder that every element of the outside world brings. Like snowflakes, no two elements are identical and thats what inspires her.
""Have you ever stood in a forest after a spring rain and really looked at, or even tried to count, all the amazing shades of green? It's impossible and fantastic all at once. Nature is true magic, flashing her brilliance at us all the time...when we remember to look""
