My name is Chris and I’m an illustrator with a graphic design background. I live just outside Boston and love being a New Englander

My artwork reflects my sense of whimsy and my love of play. I’m inspired by nature, vintage, animals and anything else that piques my interest.

I love working on projects that focus on kids, home decor and stationery. My Spoonflower shop has allowed me to sell my fabric pattern all around the globe. My patterns have been used to create everything from children’s bedding to clothing to pet accessories. I also worked independently with a few stationery companies, such as The Giftwrap Company, part of International Greetings. My designs have also been sold through World Market.

Something else you should know about me – I love sharing what I know. That’s why I sometimes hold workshops for kids. It comes down to how art combines with functionality to create all those taken-for granted things around us. My workshops usually focus on the combination art education, math concepts, and the simpler principles of construction and engineering (otherwise known as STEAM – Science Technology Engineering Art Math). Kids are amazed at how many things they can build with cereal boxes and how regular paper can actually be sturdy. I love those “aha” moments.

Speaking of ideas, if you want to me to come up with a few… contact me.
