Christopher Michael Creath finds joy in creating with a multitude of mediums including spray paint, acrylics, oils, watercolor, and even working in 3d. He is heavily influenced by surrealism, fantasy, animation, street art, and has a lifelong affinity for texture. Christopher indulges a passion for storytelling, and has worn the hat of painter, animator, illustrator, teacher, children’s book author and illustrator, sometimes simultaneously. Creating fantastical surrealist landscapes and narratives with the intention of evoking thought, emotion, and creating a dialogue. “Allowing ideas within the art to develop spontaneously in an organic stream of consciousness, produces unexpected results, often bringing clarity to the murky waters of our subconscious, helping us to better know ourselves. If there is a larger purpose to this self serving act of expression, it is to inspire thought, feeling, and create a dialogue, whether that feeling be hope, disillusionment, whimsy, despair, or glee. Human experience is all I can capture or recreate. Hopefully, in some way, this will help us to relate.”
