Chris’s love for art has been imbedded in him from a very young age, a self taught artist, trying to understand images, concepts and feelings that words cannot explain but can only is expressed through the imagery of art. Images that stained his earliest child hood years to present, documenting his life’s experiences and understandings. His paintings, designs, concepts and artistic thoughts reflects an underlining fragment to meaning, images of himself, images that drives him to curiosity and therefore in a sense sets a course of documenting in media form. Chris is resident to Tobago where he teaches and describes Tobago as a paradise and a wealth of composition in many aspects for any artist, it is an artist paradise and that he should be so fortunate to be part of it.
