| Born in Saskatchewan in 1983, and raised in Prince Albert, Christopher spent a year in Oregon before moving to Saskatoon. Here he studied printmaking at the University of Saskatchewan and received his Bachelor of Fine Arts. Currently working out of Vancouver, Christopher continues to evolve his practice, combining elements of print, paint, drawing, and installation into his work. Christopher’s work has been exhibited across Canada, most recently being a part of the ‘Buildings That Spin’ exhibition at the p|m Gallery in Toronto. |
