He is a self-taught artist whose oil paintings capture the subtle
nuances that make a painting come to life for the viewer. His attention
to detail capture the subtle changes in light on the landscape and
pressing shadows push his paintings to a level of execution that
is hard to find in the art world today, making owning one of his
paintings something very special.
"My goal as an artist is to capture the feeling of the subject
and bring the viewer into the image, evoking the feeling of being
there," states Christopher, "I have been fortunate to do the one
thing that I have always dreamed about doing for my work, to be
an artist. There is a freedom that is hard to explain that comes
with doing what you were meant to do in life. The joy I bring to
the easel with me each day is hard to contain as I work on a painting.
I have found that this is really what makes my paintings come to
life. I truly enjoy creating beautiful
paintings!"
"Becoming a part of the environment that you paint is very important
to me", says Christopher, "I have been painting through out the
New England coast for the past 18 years and the subject matter is
very close to my heart. My focus currently is on creating art of
Nantucket.
Last year I was able to spend much of my summer painting on island
thanks to my dear friends (Inn keepers) Jean E and Gerry at the
Century House on Cliff
rd just a short walk from town and shopping. They are oldest running
Nantucket inn and the best place to stay".
This year artist Christopher Wheat will be splitting time between
the Finger Lakes and Nantucket, looking to develop a strong presents
with his Nantucket Island paintings,
as one of the top Nantucket artists to add to your collection. If
you have special view of Nantucket you would like to own as a painting,
Christopher Wheat Specializes in custom painting. "There are so
many great views from private locations on the island that I have
found that many of my clients would love to own a painting of their
favorite place on the island or a custom painting of there home,
cottage or special view to keep in there collection." Custom

"I have built upon the premonition of my young artist
self and the ideas that I have explored while painting in the field
and studio over the past 20 years and have found there is no better
teacher than time it self."
