Painting by Chris Carter
​Artwork will be juried for $500 in cash and awards by Chris Carter
​
Chris has been a life-long, full-time artist. Insatiable curiosity is the driving force behind her wide range of artwork. With ease, she crosses back and forth between two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. A common theme in her work is movement through space. She began traveling extensively to paint as well as to teach workshops. Every year for the past ten years she has painted, explored and taught in Wales and England as well as annually spending a month painting and exploring Paris.

Botanical Installation at the Farmstead in 2022
Picture
In 2021, the D&R Greenway Land Trust invited Garden State Watercolor Society artists to create a series of botanical paintings depicting the flowers, vegetables and herbs that were once a part of the garden of the Joseph Bonaparte estate, Bordentown, New Jersey. The Gardener’s House Museum on the estate will contain 20 select pieces in its permanent collection when it opens later this year.  This installation of botanicals is the larger group from which those were chosen. Thank you to all the artists who submitted.
