Chrissandra Unger Neustaedter

Chrissandra is a painter and pianist who believes that art and music have close ties; elements of rhythm, harmony and texture
being equally present in each creative facet. Colour represents melodic shape and tone, composition being primary in both.

Her work is based on textured acrylic paint that produces a rich and colourful composition. She constructs framed panels on
mahogany plywood to support the weight and material composition of the paintings; next she sculpts out the black lines
which protrude giving the appearance that it is carved out of the board it is painted on; then fills in the areas with more textured
medium.

Chrissandra sees art making as a process from start to finish and an experimentation in materials and creativity.
