About Chris

A Phoenix based visual artist creating oil paintings and pen and ink drawings.

Chris has always enjoyed looking at art and trying to draw with the styles he saw in history and art books. As a child he would spend hours looking at the works of Edward Hopper, Grant Wood and Norman Rockwell. He marveled at the magic they created on canvas. He would fill the margins of his schoolbooks with doodles of abstract figures.

After several years in restaurant management Chris decided to get a degree in art. In 2015 he earned a BFA at Colorado State University. During this time he fell in love with painting and print making. In 2018 he began working as a full time artist.
