Chris studied at Art School and after graduating, spent his early career as a graphic designer, a short spell on 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.

I was very lucky to be asked to produce this painting of the famous Dunkirk Little Ship WARRIOR that rescued British and French troops from the beaches of Dunkirk in 1940. This beautiful ship was built for the Admiralty in 1912 and is currently undergoing a full restoration at a boat yard on Hayling Island, Hampshire, England.
Please contact me if you are interested in having a souvenir print of this ship. Prints are A4 size, printed on matt art paper and cost £40 with all profit donated to the restoration fund.
