Studio Visit Kristine Byars<br />

One of Kris’ favorite things to do is volunteer at a very special place called “Cleveland Avory<br />

Black Beauty Ranch” in East Texas. It’s the nation’s largest animal sanctuary and home for<br />

formerly abused, unwanted and neglected animals. Says Kris, “Kind of like the Island of Misfit<br />

Toys. I adore it. It’s a very tranquil place with a lot of really caring people who show the resident<br />

animals respect, kindness, and safety.” Kris has recently completed several lively murals<br />

which cover the bedroom walls in the Chimpanzee enclosure, as well as in their play yard.<br />

“The bedroom wall is a night-time jungle scene, complete with glow-in-the-dark moon and<br />

stars! “says Kris. She has accumulated a wealth of great stories connected with those painting<br />

projects!!<br />

Home for Kris is shared with her encouraging husband Steve, full-figured cat Bo-Peep and<br />

Golden Retriever Augie—”the world’s kindest soul”, according to Kris. Discussing her marriage,<br />

Kris says “Steve possesses the remarkable business abilities that escape me, and my<br />

creativity softens, and takes him out of his element. He helps me with every aspect of my craft<br />

including sometimes brutally honest painting critiques!“ Steve is an avid sailor and together<br />

they have traveled worldwide and bare-boated in some of the world’s most beautiful places.<br />
