Christopher Green was born in
England. A major influence on his life was the
time he spent as a novice in a Cistercian monastery. He took
up serious
painting after moving to Santa Monica in 1993, and studies with
Barbara
Ashton at Brentwood Art Center.
Watercolor is his preferred medium.
"In my paintings I try to create
something accessible and beautiful, that lifts the spirit,"
he says.
Working on small or large scale, he becomes easily absorbed in
what is for
him an exercise in meditation.
Places reflected in his paintings
are: the English countryside, especially
the Lake District, (the landscape and unpredictable weather have
inspired
some of his best work), Hawaii, and cathedrals and abbeys in
two series of
paintings: "The Holy Places of England".
He has painted a series of commissioned
paintings for the Cathedral of Our
Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles and his work is also featured
on book
covers and several compact discs. He has received other commissions
here and
in England as well as in Portland, Oregon, where his work was
shown at Onda
Studio and Gallery. Today Christopher's paintings hang on walls
across the
world from the USA and as far as Germany, Australia and Singapore.
