 Christopher worked in advertising doing graphic design and illustrations for a multitude 
of clients.  After several years of working for agencies and as a freelance 
illustrator Christopher took a extended hiatus from doing commercial artwork. 

 While following other creative endeavors Christopher still painted occasionally all the 
while developing his own style of putting paint on canvas. With the encouragement 
of his wife Cheryl, Christopher slowly began to show his work again and was soon 
invited to exhibit his work in a local fine art gallery. His work steadily become more 
popular with collectors until in the beginning of 2005 Christopher took the leap to 
became a full time fine art painter. His paintings can now be found in many private 
and corporate collections across the United States.
