Through the use of recycled clothes, fabrics and wood, artist Christina Klein paints stories from her family’s farm in Kansas. Her work is greatly influenced by her visits to abandoned houses in the rural countryside, drawn in by the way they fall apart. “Light shines through the rafters, pears through the cracks on the walls,” she has said, “much like reflections cast through cathedral windows. There is beauty in their decay.” While her primary medium is acrylic, she also builds wooden replicas of housing fragments.

Why I joined the Chamber
“In my line of work, success is dependent on cultivating relationships, which can be difficult without a common thread on which to build. The Chamber of Commerce has been the common thread that allowed me in the door where I could demonstrate the value I bring to the relationship. I recently began a working relationship with Anna Duren from Walter Green born entirely out of a connection first made by the Chamber. The opportunities afforded by my company’s Chamber membership opened doors for me in ways I have not seen with other business development strategies. In banking, familiarity and trust come first, and that usually has to develop over time. This is why the Chamber works for me – it allows me to dedicate the time and put the relationship before the ask.”
