Chris has been an avid artist his entire life.
After graduating from Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota FL, Chris worked in Minneapolis and Los Angeles as a commercial illustrator/designer for over 12 years.
Soon after, he became interested in writing and illustrating his own stories and published his first children's book Little Sock (Sleeping Bear Press) in 2019. A sequel, Little Sock Makes a Friend, will be released spring 2021.
Chris' work focuses on colorful and vibrant scenes that strive to elicit an emotional connection. Whatever the emotion: loneliness, joy, fear, gratitude, Chris hopes to connect and foster empathy through his art.
He is inspired by solitude in nature, deep connections between family and friends, the humorous or ridiculous aspects of life, and video games and toys from the 90's!
Chris loves spending time being a goofy dad with his wife and two boys. He is often found skateboarding around the neighborhood during the day or going for peaceful walks in the middle of the night.
