Featured Artist

Chrissi Grosso is an artist and illustrator from Stuart, Florida. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Graphic Design, Chrissi worked in New York City and New Jersey designing for major publications and corporate clients, including Women’s Wear Daily, AT&T and A.M. Best. The Big Apple was very exciting but Chrissi yearned for summer weather all year round so she moved to sunnier locales in California, and then to Florida.

Living in warm, sunny climates has influenced Chrissi’s art in so many ways. “I find inspiration all around me! There is so much beauty everywhere I look in our county. From the river and beaches to the wonderful creatures to all the pretty palm trees and flowers - I’m just in awe of our little paradise. It’s a special place that we need to take care of and I am inspired to showcase it in my artwork to remind us how lucky we are to call this home.”

Chrissi’s favorite mediums to work in are acrylics, watercolor and gouache. She also uses her iPad to create digital illustrations. She is especially passionate about color! Being creative makes her smile and brings her joy. Creating fills her soul and is her passion. Chrissi expresses that through her use of color and playful brushstrokes. People say her artwork brings them happiness and makes them smile. “It fills my heart to spread those good vibes and positivity all around.”
