Chris has been an illustrator and artist for nearly all his working life and
he lives and has his studio in Dorking, Surrey. He is mostly interested in
landscape, townscape and coastal subjects and also Still Life. The close
proximity of The North Downs to his home and studio constantly inspires
him and he paints and sketches this fine landscape regularly.
His main preoccupation is with atmosphere, light and weather, and he
endeavours to capture the fleeting changes and how it affects the scene
before him. He prefers to work in the studio from location sketches and
photographs, mostly in water-based media.
He was elected a member of The Royal Institute of Painters in
Watercolours in 2010, Society of Graphic Fine Artists and also a member
of The Society of Graphic Fine Artists.
