| 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.
