American artist Chris Hayman has been painting for several decades. She plays with colors and space in her densely textured, energetic abstract paintings, which are inspired largely by the natural world.
Hayman was born in New York City. She earned her BA in art history at the University of Maryland and went on to earn a second degree in art at the University of Nevada, Reno. It was during her time in Nevada that she ventured into painting.
Hayman focuses on the dimensions of space within a given piece and has cited her interest “how forms are energized by the space around them.” While the artist has found inspiration in the work of painters such as Roland Petersen and Gustavo Rivera, she lives on a farm in Northern California and is surrounded by her livestock and the beauty of the great outdoors. The majesty of nature has long played a significant role in her work.
Hayman was also trained as a classical pianist and has always had a strong creative spirit. She is deeply involved in theater and the performing arts, and her affinity for music strongly informs her art, as is evidenced by the melodic fluidity of her paintings.
Hayman’s work is held in many corporate and private collections. She has exhibited widely, showing her work group and solo shows in galleries all over the United States.
