My name is Christopher, and my goal in life is make the world more beautiful than it already is. If I can bring some of that beauty into your life through my humble artwork than I'm happy to indulge. My difficult but thrilling job is to tell a wonderful story with just one picture. I hope my stories captivate you. I spent years developing a proprietary medium that creates thick and gorgeous textures in my work. Combined with many styles of layered glazing, blending, drybrush, and lighting techniques set down by the great impressionists, I create as much depth in my work as possible. Run your hands along the glazed stucco-like surface of my art, enjoy the lavish play of color, hear the wine glasses clinking and the soft breezes of a late afternoon supper. I've studied art my entire life, ever since I was a kid watching those Bob Ross shows on TV (you know, that wacky white guy with the huge afro painting his "happy little trees"). My studies took me through college and throughout the world, as I've traveled and soaked up inspiration from all over the US, France, Germany, Greece, Mexico, and my beloved Italy. I always strive to be a growing artist never too satisfied with my own experience to stop learning, always humble enough to accept wisdom from all who care enough to impart it. You know what's fun about being an artist You get to be all eclectic and stuff. I love vintage clothes, music, and dancing. Singin' in the Rain' is one of my favorite movies. I've been a swing dancer since about , and I hold a few national championship titles with my dance team, The Fly Rights. I've also been a musician since I took up the guitar when I was . I'd like to think I can play just about anything with strings on it, also the trombone, drums, even the washboard. I've got quite an extensive background in commercial graphic design, and a few rather non-art related things such as business ownership and real estate investing. If my art makes you happy, I would be honored to have a place in your collection.
