(Sketching/Drawing)

Chris is a classically trained artist with over 40 years of professional Art and Design in a variety of mediums and fields. He specializes in sketching, drawing, airbrush, acrylics, and various mixed mediums. Though his BFA is in Medical Illustration (illustrating the human body inside and out), his professional artistic interests also include architectural design, engineering, drafting, product design, biological/nature art, and much more. He says he began teaching art back in the late 1900s and “feels genuine pride” watching students develop and succeed using his creative experiences and unique teaching techniques, learning as much from the students as they learn from him! Chris is a scuba diver, surfer, kayaker, and sailor, so much of his artistic interest includes aquatic life and beach style. Come say “Hello” to the new guy and try out one of his very unusual and fun workshops.
