About Chris Redmond Ford 

After earning a master’s degree in psychology and a PhD in existential philosophy, Chris was teaching at NYU and felt something was missing. “Philosophy took me to painting because of looking at things and trying to see them in a way that isn’t preconceived.” In addition to her hometown of New Orleans, a frequent subject of Chris’ work is LGBTQ life in New York City at spots like the Chelsea Piers and the now shuttered Florent. “Queer is a word I love,” Chris says. “What affected me so much about being queer in New York City is the freedom.”
