Artist’s work chosen for international exhibition

Select works from Kris Fiore Hanahan for sale in Carmel, Fishers, Zionsville

Indianapolis-based artist Kris Fiore Hanahan’s work, ADRI, has been selected for Fusion Art’s fourth annual Women Artists International Online Juried Art Exhibition. The work was inspired and commissioned by best-selling author Adriana Trigiani.

ADRI was a study from which came a vision,” Hanahan said. “I have followed Adriana Trigiani’s career for over 30 years. I have watched her grow and thrive – as a woman, as a creative, as an American Italian, as a Catholic, and as a Saint Mary’s College graduate. She has always stayed true to her roots. In this case, ADRI includes her favorite colors and the fleur di lis, a symbol prominent in Italy. It also represents her interest in the Holy Trinity, lines in interior furnishings, and the transparency of stained glass. The rectangles symbolize books which are her passion and gift to so many. More than anything, she loves it, and that is what matters most to me.”

Kris says being selected for the Palm Springs Exhibit is an integral part of her work as an artist. “To be inspired by, and to commission a piece with, Adriana alone is a thrill and an honor, and then to have her piece selected means so much. Add to that the ability to transcend borders and compete with artists from 26 other countries – it’s a privilege.”
