Chris started painting in 2009 after retiring as a professional photographer. His understanding and appreciation of the effects of light drew him to use that knowledge in different mediums which include oils, watercolour, pastel, charcoal and even the humble pencil!

His subject interests are diverse but mostly revolve around natural subjects. “It’s the light that inspires me whether it’s a figure, a landscape or a bunch of bananas!” He works in oils pastel and charcoal.

Chris loves to bring joy into people’s homes with his artwork, whether it’s with ballet, landscape, figures and portraits or cityscapes, there is always a sense of beauty and frequently, sunshine.
