Artist Bio

Criss Chaney is a contemporary artist based in Melbourne, Australia, working across urban pop art, mixed media, and graffiti-inspired feminist expression.

Her work explores themes of confidence, identity, autonomy, and female empowerment, often blending bold typography, layered textures, and cultural commentary to challenge how women see themselves and their place in the world.

Alongside her original artworks, Criss runs workshops, commissions, and a monthly art subscription — the Bad Bitch Print Club — designed to make art more accessible while encouraging women to reconnect with themselves through creativity and reflection.<

Her practice is grounded in the belief that art should not only be seen, but felt — as a reminder of strength, self-worth, and agency in everyday life.

Brand Story

Criss Chaney’s work is rooted in a simple but recurring moment.

At markets and exhibitions, women stop in front of her work. They connect instantly. They respond emotionally. They see themselves in it.

And then, almost always, the pause:

“I have to ask my husband.”

That moment became a pattern — and then a question.

Not about art, but about permission.

Criss began to notice that many women weren’t unsure about what they loved. They were unsure whether they were allowed to choose it.

This observation became the foundation of her practice: creating work that reflects women back to themselves — not as caretakers, supporters, or background characters, but as whole, expressive, autonomous individuals.

Her art sits at the intersection of urban pop art, feminist graffiti influence, and cultural commentary — using bold visual language to challenge conditioning around worth, identity, and visibility.

The Bad Bitch Print Club grew from this same philosophy: making empowering art more accessible while creating a monthly ritual that gives women permission to pause, reflect, and choose something for themselves.

At its core, Criss’s work is not about decoration.

It’s about recognition.
A reminder that women don’t need to be asked, approved, or validated to take up space — they already can.
