Master of all Mediums,

Artist Portraits, 2019

Christopher is an artist of many mediums, but making music was always his ultimate passion. He taught himself instrument to instrument, and learned the process of producing music.

In 2018, Christopher survived a brutal car accident on the busy road to Big Sur, where he lives. The scenic road that attracts thousands of tourists every year, had taken almost all the mobility from his left hand. The hand he strung his favorite instrument with, the guitar.

The journey to recovery has not been easy. A dozen surgeries later, with more on the horizon, Christopher still and probably will never have full mobility of his fingers. The guitar he once strung so easily, now sits in the corner of his room.

However, Christopher hasn’t given up on the guitar. He has began practicing playing with the other hand. He also has decided to dive into another medium. Painting has also always came natural to him, but it had been on the back burner with his music. He is currently creating a series of paintings of the Big Sur area, specifically of the road that has taken his hand from him, and also so many others lives. His hope is to educate tourists that this beautiful drive is also one of most dangerous roads.

Take a look at his work!

In life,

We get thrown.

In character,

We evolve.

In flaw,

We survive.

In art,

We cope.
