When he turned 39, Chris left the painting business altogether to pursue a new career with his other passion: Food. Chris is now a chef, cooking some great vegetarian food for some very discerning customers. You can still see his murals here and drop him a line if you think you have a project that Chris might want to devote some of his spare time to undertaking.

Whole room schemes, interior designs, or just a small panel. Designs include: Undersea themes for bathrooms, walled garden effects, architectural murals, space themed murals, sea views and arcades.

Nursery murals and bedroom murals painted in lead-free paints, finished with acrylic varnish.
Trompe l'oeil (not trompe d'oeil, trompe de l'oeil, tromp l'eoil, or even trompe d'oyle), meaning 'trick the eye'. A traditional craft dating back to Greek times, but exemplified by the likes of Cornelius Gijsbretchs and Antonio Verrio in the 16th and 17th centuries. Cleverly used it can give you apparent extra space, new views, and architectural features you would not otherwise have.
Also traditional paint effects, such as sandstone, marble, colour washing and other faux effects, either as part of a mural, or decorative painted feature.
