Chris Donovan is an American artist who lives in Denver. She specializes in Paper collage. She’s a self-trained artist who works primarily with paper collage. Little is known about her personal life but her stunning art explores themes that are mystical from the legends, mythology, and fairy tales of many cultures. Chris claims to be inspired by everything from research to dreams. The artist rarely gives interviews to large art publications – that’s her nature – and even her photos that have been published online are blurry, and they reveal little about her. In her hometown of Denver she’s surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains, but she tends to look elsewhere for artistic inspiration. Chris explains that her inspiration comes to her primarily from her meditations and dreams. She also draws inspiration from her readings of mythology, her studies of astrology, alchemy, and metaphysics as well as fairy tales and ancient legends.
She began to work as an artist just because that’s where her interest lied. She never worked as an apprentice and she never received any formal training. Her studio is full of different boxes of paper and her passion lies in the realm of collage art. Each of her pieces is painstakingly sorted into themes and colors so that when she starts working, the artist can easily find the materials she needs. Whenever sits down to work, Chris draws her inspiration from a variety of places. Many a times, the artist works on images based on the fields of astrology, alchemy, and metaphysics.
