Christian is an extraordinary talent.  He is an incredibly experienced artist with huge passion and an understanding of all types of art.  He is intelligent, enthusiastic and charming with his main aim being to widen the appeal of art for a mass audience.

At 28, Christian was the youngest artist to have officially painted Queen Elizabeth II, he was commissioned by the Royal Overseas League in London after the Queen chose him from a number of popular artists.  He also painted the Cardinal Cormac Murphy O-Connor for Westminster Cathedral in 2002.   Due to these honours he is now the Daily Mail’s judge for ‘Paint the Queen’ as well as the annual ‘Drench’ art award for Britvic.   

Christian is the resident expert for the ITV daytime series ‘Brush With Fame’, passing judgement and giving tactful advice to all aspiring artists.   He was recently the art teacher for ‘Make Me Smarter’ on BBC1, and on ‘Jerry Hall’s Kept’ for MTV.  Christian had the tough job of teaching celebrities to understand and appreciate art with no previous experience, such as Ulrika Johnson and John Humphries, on the hugely popular ‘Art School’ for BBC2 and is the regular art expert for Richard and Judy, Channel 4.  Christian has also painted various people including Johnny Vaughn and Lisa Tarbuck (Channel 4) live on air.

Robinsons commissioned him to mark 70 years on Centre Court last year.  He drew the initial outline on a huge canvas that was completed by the queuing public at Wimbledon.  Christian has won several awards including an Association of Colleges Gold Award (2004) at the House of Commons given to further education alumni who have gone on to achieve excellence in their chosen field.

His book ‘The Lost Art’ is the definitive publication for all those who think they are hopeless at art.  He uses his wealth of experience in teaching the artistically challenged to build people’s confidence in drawing.  In this engaging book, Christian simplifies something that initially seems so complicated into step-by-step basics. 

Christian has exhibited extensively at prestigious shows and exhibitions around the World, naturally including the National Portrait Gallery.

Being an artist, he is naturally imaginative and creative with extensive television production ideas. Christian is extremely passionate about art and communicates well to his varying audience.  He has a huge amount of credible experience and an enormous love for his subject that comes alive on screen.
