Chris Childs. My Art.
I have created art for my whole life.
As a small child I did pencil drawings for hours and hours.
I still sketch but prefer to combine it with painting and other techniques. I use acrylic and watercolour paints, coloured pencils and fine art pens. Recently I’ve enjoyed creating mixed media, handmade stamps, textile, digital art and book illustrations.
I have an Undergraduate Certificate in Creative Arts & Health, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology & Art History and have studied various art techniques over the years.
My earlier works were focused on the human form. In 1982 I was part of a hugely successful life drawing exhibition of Brisbane Art School students, at Gregory Terrace Art Gallery in Spring Hill.
These days I’m interested in creative watercolour landscapes and abstracted urban scenes.
