Hello, my name is Chrissa Chorvat

I’m a prismatic enigma

My story is as unique as my art. I was born both male and female. I struggled to find my identity, so in embracing contradictions, I was able to find my voice through art. I was  a pioneer in the medium of Borosilicate glass, developing techniques used by artists all over the world. However, glass itself as a medium is limiting. I’ve learned truly effective ,methods of art making in the realm of academia and the fresh gardens of popular culture. I received my BFA from Eastern WA University, then later my Masters degree from California College of the Arts.

My transition from glass to fine arts brings forth compositions that combine absurdist humor, celebration, and subjective honesty. My works embody acts, topics, and sensations that are often considered taboo, as they inhabit and quantify the every day in a divided society. I explore themes that dare the viewer to look at themselves with honestly and irony.

I invite you into my inner world. Please come along on this journey with me through the lens of me.
