I am a contemporary artist who lives in Brisbane Australia. I have just completed my Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) to become a high school art teacher. I have completed a Bachelor of Creative Industries at James Cook University (2009) and studied a Diploma of Visual Arts (2007).

My preferred medium is acrylics however I sometimes dabble in pastels, pen and wash (gouache) and prints. My painting style is bold and colourful with decorative/high-kitsch like or semi-realistic characteristics. I favour painting nature, landscapes, animals and still lifes.

My goal is to continually expand on my skills and knowledge in visual art mediums to develop a greater depth of knowledge and skill.

Formerly ChrissyCav. I now paint under my married name, Chrissy Dwyer
