awards as well as fellowships and grants from MassMoCA/Assets for Artists, the NH State Council on the Arts and the NH Humanities Council. His work is held

literature at Concord Art, Montserrat College of Art, the New Hampshire Institute of Art, among others.
Christopher will discuss how working in series can channel creativity, knowledge, and experience into multiple related bodies of work that can make you
passionate and obsessed.Working in series means focusing your creativity around a single idea, theme, or subject and pursuing variations that form a cohesive
body of work. Channeling your creativity, knowledge, and experience into multiple related bodies of work can make you passionate and obsessed. It can also help in
getting solo shows and gallery representation, as curators and gallerists want and need to show the public that you are committed to a serious, recognizable artistic
practice that you have made your own.
