Christopher obtained a degree in Art, majoring in graphic art and course study in photography. His professional career started in commercial graphics studios and retail advertising, work that he enjoyed immensely. Christopher’s family have for two generations been rooted in printing, advertising, plus fine arts and; was lucky to have at home in his formative years, before pursuing a formal education in the arts. Christopher has extended education at Birmingham Art Association, Michigan; Art Center College OF Design, Los Angeles; and Glassell School of Art, Houston MFAH. Christopher’s works are purely expressionistic, abstracts, at places where he presents the world solely from his own perspective, distorting it radically for visual emotional effect. The result is always subjective, we’re the viewers are encouraged to take in their own experiences by soaking in the visual spectacle of his art piece. He engages the viewer with a high-frequency palette that pretty much has all the colors possible in one space, the results being dreamy and mesmerizing.
