The first thing is, I
can't seem to make the leap to talking about
myself in the third person... My name is
Kris Galli and, to be honest, I think I
taught myself to
paint because I just didn't fit in anywhere
else. That, and I wanted to make my own
lunch hour. Lunch is so important...
I've been
painting for about twenty years, with the
exception of those times when I'd take a
long drive and throw all my brushes into the
woods in a fit of despair. Later, I'd
have to find them, and I ended up with all
kinds of cuts and scratches. Now I tend to
just throw them out onto the lawn. Anyway,
it's something that just keeps following me.
I
can't stop painting. Not for long.
For many years, I
sold my work through the Clark Whitney
Gallery, a place in Lenox, MA that was owned
by my good friend Ruth Kochta, R.I.P., to
whom I owe a great deal. Thanks Ruth.
Now, I show my work
at various locations around the northeast. I
live in Lenox with my husband, Edward Acker,
who is a photographer.
So there it is. No
formal schooling, no
congressional medal of honor. Most days, I
barely leave the house. I do, however, have
lots of paint and lots of nice ideas. If you're
interested in anything, drop me a line. I'll be updating
frequently, so please visit often. Peace,
Kris
