Chris
Chalk is a full time artist, who works from his studio in Cilgerran in
Pembrokeshire, in the UK. Chris has always had a fascination with
wildlife, nature and the outdoors, and growing up on a dairy farm in
west Wales he spent much of his time roaming the fields and woodlands,
sketching, and painting anything that would stay still long enough.
Chris
paints a variety of subjects including wildlife and portraits, but his
main passion is to paint the beautiful landscapes of both Wales and New
Zealand. In his paintings he strives to create a unique snapshot of a
scene, not one that is photographic and rigid, but one that is painterly
and full of marks and brush strokes that impart a little bit of himself
into his work.
Paintings
are worked up from small oil sketches painted out in the field using a
pochade box, and from photographs taken on his many adventures.
Chris' paintings can be found in collections worldwide. He accepts commissions.
