Growing up he'd constantly be drawing animals, buildings, cars and anything else he could imagine. Now his artistic interests focus on abstract acrylic paintings. He enjoys working with the forgiving and fast drying medium of acrylic paint. His paintings are typically
painted on pre-stretched canvas while more and more of them are being painted on environmentally sustainable hardboard. He likes to experiment with different techniques and painting implements. <br><br>Subject matter ranges from purely geometric designs to nature scenes to cityscapes. Very rarely do his paintings begin with a pre-conceived notion. Rather he lays down layers of paint and ultimately follows his eye and the direction the painting takes him. Colors range from a muted monochromatic pallet to some that employ a variety of bright contrasting tones.<br><br>Chris was born and raised in the Cleveland area. He currently resides in Sagamore Hills, Ohio with his artist wife Christine, their sons and one cat. Together they run their small art business called Little Grey Cat Studio. 2010 and run through January 2011.<br><br>The lobby gallery is open during Box Office hours, Wednesday through Saturday
