Roots

Creativity has always been part of Christopher’s family story – a heritage of artists, musicians, and writers that sparked his own artistic journey from a young age.

When Christopher was just three, his biological father left the family, but this unexpected turn was followed by a loving presence – his stepdad, a talented guitar player with an extensive album collection, who entered his life at age six. Through music, his stepdad nurtured Christopher’s creative curiosity, broadening his musical horizons and inspiring his artistic expression.

As Christopher explored his creativity, he initially gravitated towards realistic drawing – appreciating its precision and control. But a pivotal college art class challenged him to break free from technique alone, embracing expressive abstraction and unlocking a deeper connection to his artistic voice.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin’s renowned Texas Creative Program – one of the nation’s top advertising creativity programs – Christopher applied his visual skills in graphic and web design. Yet, during extensive business travels in 2011, he rediscovered his passion for fine art – this time through the lens of street photography, capturing life’s raw moments and authentic beauty in urban landscapes.

Through street photography, Christopher shares unscripted glimpses of city life – authentic moments that spark thought and connection. Over 15 years, he’s built a compelling portfolio and is now sharing his work publicly to inspire meaningful dialogue.

While photography dominates his creative landscape, Christopher remains drawn to his abstract painting roots. He continues exploring ways to blend digital and analog processes, pushing creative boundaries.

Christopher approaches art with intention and gratitude – his journey marked by resilience, adaptability, and a passion for sparking meaningful connections. He believes art ignites thought, dialogue, and understanding – bridging gaps between us.
