Welcome to Verdant Gallery, a fine art contemporary gallery where art meets inspiration in Austin, TX. Established in 2025, and founded by Diana and Geoff Chriswisser, the gallery showcases a thoughtfully curated program of emerging and mid-career artists through year-round exhibitions.
After three decades in commercial interior design and architecture, Diana learned the transformative power of visual environments - how thoughtfully chosen elements can shift moods, inspire creativity, and tell stories. This deep understanding of space and aesthetics led her to an unexpected calling that extends far beyond anything previously envisioned. Drawing from years of planning and curating environments for clients and understanding how art functions within lived spaces, she and her husband Geoff founded Verdant Gallery as the natural evolution of her passion. Here, they cultivate a space where artistic relationships flourish, connecting artists with collectors while removing barriers to art ownership.
Art possesses a profound duality: it can uplift and inspire, engage our senses and spark communication, while simultaneously unsettling, challenging, and disrupting our assumptions. It breathes energy into spaces and reveals the depths of human experience. We champion artists who dare to push creative boundaries, whose work compels us to reflect and discover new perspectives. While art speaks to each of us individually, it also creates bridges - fostering dialogue and the exploration of uncharted ideas.
For Diana, owning Verdant Gallery represents a spiritual expression - a way to honor her faith and embrace the talents she's been given. None of this would exist without her husband and partner Geoff, whose unwavering support forms the foundation of everything Verdant Gallery represents!
