Christopher became interested in drawing and painting at an early age. He entered 
his first juried art festival as a teenager. After earning a degree in commercial art,
 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 in a local fine art gallery. His paintings steadily became more 
popular with collectors. In the beginning of 2005 Christopher took the leap to 
become a full time fine art painter. His paintings can now be found in many private 
and corporate collections across the United States.

Christopher currently lives in Tulsa, OK with his lovely wife Cheryl. He exhibits at the 
M A Doran Gallery in Tulsa and various other regional art shows.
