A Little About Kris...Painter, doodler and all-around maker of stuff, you'll usually find Kris G. Brownlee holed up in her studio (covered in paint) or curled up with her sketchbook. A wild k.g.b. spotting is rare, unless she's been dragged out for a walk by her pug, of course.
Kris creates small-scale character portraits that weigh heavily on the cute side with a storybook feel that can't help but pop off the canvas - just as they've sprung from her active imagination! Big soulful eyes are the k.g.b. trademark, though the vintage color palette she often employs and cute critter companions are strong trends.
After working in several different mediums ranging from photography to graphic design, Kris decided to focus exclusively on painting after moving to Vancouver in 2007. A voracious learner, she continues to take classes at Emily Carr University and attend workshops whenever she can. As a self-representing full time artist, her customers keep her busy as she packages up print orders from all over the US, Canada and Australia via her online shop.

With initials like k.g.b., Kris couldn't resist playing it up, so her website, Twitter account and general online presence is "a Cagey Bee".
