Kristina Occhino, Seascape

 A much sought after instructor, Kris currently teaches painting at the Attleboro Arts Museum and in her Treetop Studio in Attleboro. Her work can be seen at True Grit Art Gallery in Middleboro, MA. 

As a painter, she feels constantly drawn to the beauty of seascapes, landscapes, marine Life and scenes of working boats and harbor life.
