Who is that weird lady with paint on her face?
My name is Chris Warburton Hulme (she/her). I am an acrylics and mixed media artist living my best art life on the East Coast of Canada in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. I had the sudden urge to slap globs of paint onto paper in 2021 and have since honed my skills and found my own voice in art. As a late in life diagnosed autistic woman, art allows me to express what I find difficult to articulate in the spoken word.
My work is colourful, quirky, sometimes sentimental, and often cheeky! My art almost always has a story behind it and frequently draws on my own life experiences. This includes a passion for women's empowerment with a personal connection to those who have experienced gender-based violence. I infuse my art with powerful and fun feminism.
I create my vibrant mixed media art using acrylic paint, original hand-painted collage papers, hand-drawn images, art collage paper, and carefully curated public domain images. You won’t see magazines, old books or antique papers in my collage. I strive to use acid free materials which contribute to the quality and longevity of my work.
My studio is my dining room. We never eat in the dining room anyway. My favourite colour is pink.
Fun fact: I am an identical twin who is also a Granny to two silly little identical twin grandsons! Sometimes they help get me started on my art!
