Chris Adessa is a representational fine artist whose studio overlooks the San Francisco Bay in the historic ICB building in Sausalito, California. Born in New York State, she was drawn to the San Francisco Bay Area over 30 years ago for its magnificent beauty and gentle climate. Her latest series is called Everyday Sacred. She celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary, painting portraits of commonplace, enduring objects: a light bulb, a paintbrush, a pile of books, a cardboard box … in a finely nuanced monochrome palette. “Using a black and white palette takes me back to the day when photographs were in black and white. I find you can take in an image more completely when the color is stripped off and you see the form and relate the function at the same time.” These objects are timeless and she seeks to portray their innate beauty … and she invites her viewer to do the same. Her work has been shown in museums and galleries across the United States, published in books, and can be found in collections internationally.
