Early Years
Always fascinated with wildlife, nature and the outdoors and growing up on a dairy farm in West Wales Chris spent much of his time roaming the fields and woodlands sketching and painting anything that would stay still long enough to allow him to do so.
His twenties were spent serving in the armed forces, which unfortunately allowed little time for indulging in his passion for art. However after leaving the forces in the late nineties Chris spent six years living and travelling in [New Zealand] and [Australia], where he was once again able to take up the brush. Now working as a professional artist in the village of Cilgerran on the borders of Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire, that passion burns as brightly as ever. When he's not working in his studio he can often be found out with his camera or his paints, somewhere in the local area working on ideas and gathering reference material for new paintings.
