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...
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
divide my time between Lenox and Keene, NH.
I live with my husband, Edward, who is a
photographer, and our
cat, Thomas.
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.
On this site, you'll
see some of my recent work, and a few older pieces.
I've recently made some of my sold pieces
available as giclee prints. They're in
editions of fifty, matted and signed. If
you'd like yours framed, we can arrange
that, too.
So there it is. No
formal schooling, no big awards, no
congressional medal of honor. Most days, I
barely leave the house. I do, however, have
a long list of people who've bought my work,
bless their hearts, and I do 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
