About Me
Hello There
I'm Crisi Prime a mixed media artist, based in Adelaide Australia.
Welcome to my site.
As a child I was happiest when capturing my thoughts and imagination into a childish art masterpiece. As I grew up, my love for art grew with me and I now feel it's part of who I am.
I met my hubby as a teenager, married young and raised two beautiful children. Years of juggling work, family life and sporting commitments were often exhausting; however, art always provided a welcome sense of calm and respite in my life. Now our kids are out living their own lives, I finally have the freedom to devote myself to my art and I'm loving it.
Having lived in the UK, USA and Singapore, for over 10yrs & traveling the world extensively, I've been able to immerse myself in global cultures and enhance my artistic perspective. Studying Floristry & Landscape Art in the UK, further elevated my ability to see the harmony between design techniques and nature's natural forms.
Inspired by the vibrant colours, textures and beauty of the natural world, my work explores both the tension and tenderness of our connection to it.
As an advocate for sustainability with a desire to recycle and repurpose, I sometimes incorporate abandoned items into my artwork, giving new life & purpose to objects that would otherwise be discarded.
If you would like more information about my art, you can email me via the contact button within this site.
Thanks for stopping by today. Cheers Crisi !
