| Your Personal Biography |
I create realistic and impressionistic art from travels that take me to places such as the Thousand Islands near my home, the Florida coasts, the high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, and points beyond. Traditionally, I have worked in watercolors, but have now begun enjoying creating works in acrylic, and oil mediums. Past works include Adirondack, Florida, and Greek Islands artworks from my fall 08 overseas journey to the Greek Cyclade islands. My works have been collected throughout the US, and into Europe. My newest of endeavors is a planned thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, from Springer Mountain Georgia, to Mt. Kathadin, the highest point in the State of Maine. Feel free to contact me at WChrist796@aol.com regarding any of my artworks.
