After studying at St. George and Meadowbank Colleges and the National Art School East Sydney, Chris was quickly embraced by the professional art world. Pursuing a love of nature, Chris is particularly well-known for countless contemporary-impressionistic bush, land and seascapes. Boasting feature articles in the Australian and International Artist Magazines, Chris has been acclaimed for works in all mediums and is well-represented in many private and corporate collections throughout the world.

Over the years, Chris has developed a unique painting technique in both modern and traditional works. Has had numerous solo and joint exhibitions; is privileged to have been frequently requested as artist in residence and has also presented numerous live demonstrations. Has provided group and private tuition to scores of emerging artists… Tutored at the Combined Art Societies of Sydney’s “Art in Action” 3 day conference from 1998 to 2018.
