Hi, I'm Chris!

I'm an artist living on the outskirts of bustling Chicago, sharing my life and passion for creativity with my wonderful wife Kathy, and our beloved fur baby, Bailey. My artistic journey began at The School of Visual Concepts in Seattle in the vibrant 90s, where I delved deep into traditional fine art and illustration.

My art is a reflection of my endless curiosity and diverse interests. My work spans a wide spectrum of themes and influences from vividly colorful cocktails to enchanting imaginary landscapes, futuristic robots, thought-provoking comic book narratives, and poignant political commentary.

Over the years, my creations have found their way into the limelight, appearing on television shows and in impactful advertisements. Beyond the screen, art enthusiasts can experience my pieces firsthand. My work is proudly displayed in prestigious galleries such as The Hive Gallery & Studios and Art Pic in Hollywood, California, where it continues to spark inspiration and wonder among audiences.

Artist, Christopher Olson @ Superfine Art fair, Los Angeles
