My name is Chris Chalk and I live in west Wales.
As a child growing up on a farm in Wales I was always very interested in wildlife and wildlife art of all kinds. I have enjoyed drawing and painting as far back as I can remember. In 1981 I attended a children’s art holiday at the Slimbridge wildfowl and wetland Trust which fuelled my passion further.
As I grew up and left school however life got in the way of my painting and I didn’t pick up a brush again until 2004 on returning to Wales from Australia where I had been living for five years.
These days I paint a variety of subjects from welsh landscapes and seascapes to portraits and pet portraits, but still love to paint all kinds of wildlife.
My paintings are in private collections in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Great Britain.
I paint most days and still get as excited now as I did as a child when I reach for my brushes.
I love it!
There's much more about me and my art at - www.chrischalkart.com
I've got some video demos there too so you can watch some of my paintings taking shape to great music.
Best wishes~
