Christopher Winslow
Education:
Early education in California, and Papua New Guinea 1971
to 1975.
Dun Laoghaire College of Art, Republic of Ireland, 1976

Career:
Eighteen years ago I settled in Maryland and began a career
as a decorative painter. During the past several years I
have had the good fortune to be able to focus on privately
commissioned paintings, portraits, and murals. In my commercial
work I paint in many styles and replicate different periods
of art, depending on what the interior designer and or client
wants. This has given me a great opportunity to explore
and combine many genres of art and design, creating a new
and fresh look.
