Cris Metcalf

Cris is an Oswego native and returns to the city (with her husband Benjamin) after a 33-year career as a teacher and successful artist in the Rochester area.

 

Originally introduced to art as a child by Riverside Artisans member Bert Leighton, Cris has studied with numerous painting masters and until recently had gallery space in Rochester’s Hungerford Building.  She currently works in oil, pastels and charcoal.

 

According to Cris, “I find art to be my meditation.  It quiets my mind and brings focus to beauty.  It is a record of my ‘interior life,’ not always the one shown to the world”
