About the Artist

Hey! I'm Criss Chaney, an American artist making waves in Melbourne. I draw my inspiration from the eclectic walls of Melbourne and the fierce women who run the world.


With a background in glass art and a penchant for globetrotting, I've found my home in painting – creating vibrant, layered portraits that pack a punch.


From solo shows in Austria to my cozy home studio in Berwick, my journey has been one wild ride. And I wouldn't have it any other way!
