Kris Peter is an artist who finds joy in the charm of animals (birds in particular) and also tonal simplicity often blended with complexity in natural objects. She is inspired by nature and the beauty of the beach, the bush and its animals. Subjects for her works vary from the simple to her intricate studies of rock pools, the patterns of bark on tree trunks and the delicate strength and honesty of her avian artworks.
Kris has been a hands-on carer for an aviary of Australian birds and is a keen birdwatcher. She finds her interactions with birds a wonderfully rewarding experience, as well as providing excellent opportunities to observe her feathered subjects at close range.
Kris was President of the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia (WASA) 2016 -2022 , and a Signatory member and councillor of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists (AGRA). She is a supporter of Birdlife Australia and Zoos Victoria .
