About Chris

I am a contemporary painter, living and working in NSW, Australia. Originally from England, I have called Australia home for the last six years.

Inspired by The Mission School art movement, folk art, as well as the punk and skate scenes that I grew up in, my work has an ‘ugly is beautiful’ approach. Using ‘ugly’ materials such as found wood, cardboard, reused canvas and paper, alongside old paintbrushes and mistinted house paints, I try and create artworks that are both beautiful and meaningful.
