About "Tannie"
Shaleen Surtie-Richards is a popular TV character in a locally produced drama series. She however typifies for me the distinctive Africaans “tannie” or in English, “auntie”. From Dutch descent she could be part of the ‘Great Trek’.
The strength of character, determination and will-power are evident in this portrayal of her. Beneath the surface however, lies a soft heart. Anyone would love to have her as their aunt.

About Chris
WHY DO I PAINT?
I am passionate about nature, animals, people. In fact I am passionate about life, about living. My art is a celebration of life. I hope it shows!!
PAINTING STYLE
A realist at heart, I strive for spontaneity in my work and paint with oils on mounted canvas or board in an impressionistic style. Whatever the subject, I enjoy using various paint textures, from a lean transparent ground to thick impasto paint in the highlight and focal areas. I have a graphic arts background and love painting African wildlife but am versatile enough to tackle any subject.
CAREER HISTORY:
After receiving a Diploma in Graphic Design I started my working career in 1978. I have always worked on the creative side of various Advertising agencies including Bates Wells and McCann Erickson. Since 1990 I have run my own advertising agency.
FINE ART CAREER:
I have painted on and off all my working life. Only in the past five years have I been selling work commercially rather than giving everything away as gifts to friends, family and clients. I have a small but loyal following of collectors and have sold paintings internationally and locally to private individuals and companies.
