Studying portrait and figure painting with Everett Raymond Kingstler, Dean Keller, and Nelson Shanks;
In 1984, he was 16

Although young
But then he thought The artist's brush is used to record the return to nature,
Instead of changing nature like technology
Chris's art basically comes from his high school art teacher
The teacher is a Watercolor painter and architectural illustrator
Chris looked at the teacher's work like a child who has never seen the world
I was deeply attracted by the watercolors and illustrations in front of me

And Chris's most important drawing time is a long family vacation
Vacation every year is like the wild "Gold plating"
In loneliness and immersion in nature
Enjoy every minute and second of drawing paper and visual travel
Be influenced by teachers
After he graduated from high school
Chris can be a drawing teacher on his own
To make a living, he found another job as a freelance illustrator
At that time, computers were not so developed,
Manual proficiency seems to be the hottest art available
Draw an assignment in proportion with your bare hands,
It is what is now called hyper-realism
Accumulated 5 years of skilled hand-painting skills as an illustrator
I was invited by chance to illustrate history at a Bible and Tract Society in New York
This period brought him great achievements

Year 2000
Chris, 32, is still in his watercolor class
Met a 19-year-old student, Michelle Myers
Michelle adored Chris for drawing
And Chris also likes this girl very much
One noon because Chris stole a bag of French fries from the cafeteria
From then on, the spark of love was out of control
"There's nothing like painting a roaring waterfall or a sun-baked wasteland, and as I try to capture the fleeting effect of light, there's nothing like the sound of an eagle skimming the updraft of a canyon"
"Hiking and painting with family and mouth is the best choice for me as an artist"
In 2017, he lost his 30-year full-time artistic career
Apart from coping with a livelihood, it seems that I still haven't found a sense of real art
After returning home, he turned from watercolor design and portraits to oil painting landscapes
Strong artistic accomplishment makes him comfortable in oil paintings

This change allowed him to win more correct honorary awards and invite him to participate in the exhibition constantly
After more than 30 years of perfecting a precise, realistic style
Chris intentionally wandered around Realism and Impressionism Between.
He now eschews a highly realistic style
Switch to symbolic forms and handwriting that suggests detail
Chris also participates in the painter's group sketching activities
"I thoroughly enjoyed watching his plain canvas turn into an amazing painting," says the student
He fell in love with painting 30 years ago because of his teacher,
His creation captured countless student fans 30 years later
Someone commented on Chris: It seems that Chris draws as a natural behavior. He completes a painting on impulse. Every brushstroke and all colors will emphasize his expression
Chris has a furnished studio
What he enjoys most is sketching outdoors
Because painting in a small space can never have much future
Painting is a kind of expression rather than a kind of copy, and it needs the support of the soul
That's why Chris only likes to sketch
