Chris Glatzel, a seasoned artist based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, draws inspiration from her faith, family, and an imaginative spirit. A mother of six and grandmother to six, Chris infuses her paintings with a blend of light, wonderment, and a spiritual connection to the unseen. Specializing in mixed media, particularly acrylics and oil on canvas, Chris is a storyteller who brings forth themes of transformation, mystery, and childlike awe.

Largely self-taught, Chris has honed her craft over 45 years, emphasizing the importance of getting back to artistic basics. Beyond her own work, she imparts her knowledge as an art teacher, fostering creativity in private schools, private classes, and conferences. Her art, described as "magical" and reminiscent of "fantasy lands," seamlessly intertwines imagination with realism, creating a visual journey into celestial realms.

For Chris, art is more than a visual experience; it's a gateway to a realm filled with goodness and light. Her hope is that her creations open viewers' eyes to appreciate the wonder around them, connecting their inner child to the divine creator. Chris Glatzel's paintings serve as an invitation to rediscover the extraordinary in everyday life and embrace the enchantment that surrounds us all.
