Chris Rapa is an Impressionist painter, devoting her practice to the pursuit of light—its shifting moods, fleeting revelations, and the way it transforms the every-day into something quietly extraordinary. Meaning is at the heart of her creative process as she seeks to weave emotion, intention, and narrative into every work. In addition to traditional impressionist techniques, she explores multimedia collage as a way to confront and illuminate the complex challenges faced by women today. Whether through luminous landscapes, colorful still life, or socially reflective collage, her art is driven by a desire to create connection. Chris is the President of the Washington Society of Landscape Painters and serves as Secretary on the Board of the American Impressionist Society. She is an Associate with Distinction member of the American Women Artists and a Signature member of AIS.
