Chris has been a successful illustrator since graduating from Leicester College of Art, England in 1979, where he studied graphic design.
After moving to London during the early years of his career, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset.
He currently produces paintings exclusively for the fine art market alongside his commercial illustrations and privately commissioned pieces. His work is humorous and he enjoys creating the visual joke as much as executing the final painting.
He is well known for painting in the style and technique of famous artists and including an observer or character viewing a picture as though in a gallery. These are often with a comical twist and include artists such as Jason Pillock, Fraud Monet, Mandy Warhol, Vincent Van Earoff and LS Lowryish etc
His paintings have been exhibited widely in a number of selected galleries including the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
