Christine Ivers - Juror for Paris In Plantsville's Third Anniversary Show

Here's a little information about our Guest Juror:

Christine Ivers 

Christine attained a BFA in painting and two-dimensional design from Hartford Art School in 1973 and found work in the advertising field for the last 40 years.  She has been Creative Director at numerous ad agencies and in 1986 broke off on her own to start her own company. 

She works with artists in that crossover world of fine art and digital photography to teach them how to better promote themselves.

Chris has won numerous awards and has paintings in private collections throughout New England. Her paintings were chosen by the International Association of Pastel Societies as one of eight finalists worldwide in two of the IAPS cover competitions and placed First in Pastels in the Richeson 75 Landscape Show, WI.  Her paintings, "Red on 5th" and "Salt," were chosen as two of Pastel Journal's Top 100.  She was inducted into the IAPS Master Circle of Pastelists in 2009.  She was twice juried into PaintAmerica's Top 100 Artists with shows that traveled the country for two years visiting Galleries and Museums.  Chris has been published in Best of American Artists Pastel Edition, Practiqué des Arts (a French publication featuring artists from around the world), American Art Collector Magazine, The Pastel Journal and was honored with the Art Spirit Foundation Silver Medal Award for Excellence in Pastel at the Salmagundi Club in NYC. 

She recently took Best in Show Awards at Connecticut Women Artists Juried Exhibit and at the New Britain Museum of American Art.
