As early as Chris can recall, he would have a pencil and paper and was drawing family and life going on around him. As he got older the Staffordshire countryside became a whole world of possible images for him to draw. His work was shown in many local galleries and he took part in local competitions with great success which led to commissioned work also in pencil.

Chris has now developed a distinct, recognisable style of his own. His collectors and supporters have grown to include some celebrity patrons. He has attended a number of celebrity charity events; donating work for auction and raising thousands for a number of great causes.
