Chris Vallee

Chris Vallee has been a real estate professional dealing in commercial and private home and business sales for years.

The Hallowell mural would not have happened without Chris Vallee. Vallee and artist Chris Cart are good friends and were having lunch one day. Suddenly Chris Vallee asked if Cart if he wanted to do a large mural on his wall at 89 Water Street—a building he had owned and lived in for many years.

They knocked around ideas and decided the mural should tell the story of our cool town.

Chris (Vallee) is the most generous person I know. He is constantly giving and reaching out to help people.
In the summer of 2020 he donated one of his kidneys to a complete stranger. Unfortunately, the surgery went wrong and Chris nearly died, spending 3 months in the hospital, with numerous other surgeries to fix the damage from the initial one. I wanted to represent his sacrifice by the symbol of the kidney colored bird flying from his hands.
