Chris studied at Art School and after graduating, spent his early career as a graphic designer, a short spell in Navy Public Relations and in industrial marketing.
He has now focused his painting on sea and landscapes. He lives just a few minutes walk from the sea in a very beautiful part of South West England..

His paintings are very much inspired by his surroundings, in particular the South Devon coast and countryside, and the sometimes, very harsh landscape of Cornwall. His paintings are emotive, colourful, bright and vibrant, and capture the beauty of the changing seasons or the severity of a winter storm captured with just a few strokes of the brush or knife. Chris’ paintings can add that splash of controlled colour that brings any room to life.

The British Prime Minister, furious at the security leak and escalation of this conflict to the shores of Singapore, orders his Secretary for Defence to the Island. Terrorism, directed at the heart of British interests in Asia would not be tolerated. But the Prime Minister had no idea then that the Defence Secretary's life too, would soon be in grave and imminent danger.…
