Chris’ paintings are a contemporary portrayal of the spirit and essence of the American cowboy. After majoring in art at Montana State University-Billings, he later attended the highly acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.

Becoming a professional artist has been a lifetime pursuit of Chris’, and he has been painting his Western subjects for nearly 20 years. Transitioning from the conventional western themes, his work demonstrates a keen sensitivity to the application of light and shadow to create the illusion of three-dimensional form.

His “action painting” also captures and depicts the gesture, mood and energy of the horse and cowboy figures by arbitrarily and instinctively combining realism and abstraction. He depicts the embodiment of the human and equine figures with a genuinely personal and expressionistic approach. With an ability to emulate a perception of character in his subjects, his style is undeniably subjective; and through his art he bears the hopes, dreams, and passions, not only for himself, but all who desire to experience the spirit of the American West.
