Hello, my name is Christopher…
Here in Central Florida three things are a definite..

• Hot Sun
• Strong Hurricanes
• Endless Creativity

I enjoy painting reef scenes and landscapes derived from Old Florida because I believe it can transport us back to a time
when Florida’s eco system was still very much alive and thriving.

Doing this helps me to connect to the flora and fauna, allowing me to understand the importance of its existence. With the opportunity to share my art I am able to convey these feelings to others. Raising awareness of this depleting ecosystem is my main goal. If I can show just a handful of people a beauty they have yet to see, perhaps those same people will appreciate the allure of Florida and join me in protecting her.

When selecting my subjects I think back to a memorable moment while diving, fishing or hiking through Central and South Florida. I know these moments are true when I can feel my heart drop to my stomach in astonishment of what I have found; whether it’s a breathtaking sunset, an exciting experience on the reef or the simple glory of a sudden view. With my work I am trying to create a deep feeling for the experienced environment. With that said, I take a little more time to enjoy the moment as it happens. I also take note of small details such as the ’supporting characters’ of the scene. In the end, I want the viewer to feel as if they have been immersed into the art.
When the viewer can feel the humidity pouring off the canvas and can feel the salt spray on their face, my job is done.

Feel free to check out some of my marine life photography that fuels my desire to create my vivid and inspirational works of art.
