Chris Weller, b. 1962 Calgary, Alberta, Canada, BFA Western Michigan University. Chris is a New York City based artist whose hyperrealistic drawings and paintings represent both the well known and underground icons of the city. Her painting, Note on the GW, was included in the recent Brooklyn Museum show. 

My drawings explore man's relationship with the urban environment he has built, juxtaposed against his tenuous relationship with nature. Intrigued by the unlikely beauty of urban decay, I create work which communicates the continual state of disintegration and reclamation by nature that we experience living in the city.
