Chandris (Shan-dree) grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and relocated to Colorado in 2014 with her family after a brief stint of living in California. After their first visit to Fort Collins, she and her husband fell in love with the city and now never want to leave!  She has been a lifelong lover of all things art, but after taking a stained glass class in 2021, she found her creative passion. Chandris loves to travel with her husband and two school-aged children, and she is very involved with volunteering at their schools. She joined the gallery as an artist in December 2023 and was immediately enamored with the community of the Blue Moose.
