Good Old Girl by Chris Vernier-Pesce

Chris Vernier-Pesce is a naturally gifted Artist.  Born and raised in Michigan, she created her first piece in 1971; worked the outdoor art circuit, and then, left her passion behind to pursue a career as an organization and employee development consultant.  Now, retired, and happily living in Southwest Florida, Chris has resumed her painting with fervor.  She finds inspiration in a wide variety of subjects and continues to challenge herself with new subject matter and new techniques in acrylic and in watercolor.  All of her works reflect a consistent positive, uplifting expression of life.  “If my work puts a smile on your face, then my goal as an artist has been achieved,” says Chris.
