A self-taught artist born and raised in Norfolk, Chris now lives in South-East London, combining his two main passions – working as a professional wildlife artist and also as Senior Programmes Officer for the Born Free Foundation, specializing in the conservation of endangered species. 

Extensive travel has given Chris first-hand encounters with many of the animals that now inspire his work – and to whose conservation he donates a percentage of his art sales.

An Associate of The Society of Feline Artists and The Wildlife Art Society International, by whom he was awarded a Gold Citation in 2010, Chris has recently been invited to become a signature member of Artists for Conservation.
