Behind the Brush
Artist / Winnipeg, Canada
Chris creates semi-representational landscape and flower paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour that use expressive colour and light … sprinkled with a touch of whimsy.
Art For Every Room

Being an admirer of the brushstrokes and techniques of Chinese/Japanese art - I will often incorporate some line work influenced by those cultures into my paintings. A more recent discovery has been creating collage and mixed media pieces....again embracing line work and shapes.
​Growing up on the Canadian prairies -I now spends 5 months every year in the beauty of the forests and lakes of the Canadian Shield. This has provided me with landscapes that offer a kaleidoscope of colour and amazing light which provide never ending inspiration. This home turf coupled by some amazing cultural world trips have become my painting catalogue.
