"I have many passions in life including my family and my art. I am inspired by people and nature, but mostly I am inspired by
a love of life." - Christine Allan
Chris and her family live in Chemainus BC. While raising children, she has been constantly creating, whether it be dabbling
in arts and crafts with her kids, making candles, or creating journals and collage art. She has shown her art work in
galleries in BC and in Japan. After having a friend create this website in 1997, she taught herself html and took over the
website creation on her own. It continues to evolve and change as she learns new things.
