About: Camp Fire at Chews Ridge reflects a firestorm of motion and bold color–you can feel the warmth of the camp fire as it engulfs your spirit in a sort of hypnotic dance. Thick with multiple layers which add deep hypnotic depth and texture, this work represents years of process as Chettle worked through her own fire and growth.

The Artist: Kristy Chettle is an abstract artist whose tactile approach to painting sets her apart. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1968, Chettle forgoes traditional brushes and palette knives, favoring the intimate connection of painting with her hands. Her works are characterized by deep textures, vibrant complimentary colors, and layers that carry a visceral sense of motion and raw emotion. Each piece is a reflection of her journey, interwoven with messages of environmental care and self-empowerment.
