Chris’ work has been featured in New American Paintings, Manifest’s International Painting Annual, and solo exhibitions at Bluffton University, the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan, and Susanne Hilberry Gallery. This fall, his paintings will be included in the 2020 Midwestern Biennial at the Rockford Art Museum and Form & Seek: Never Normal at Wasserman Projects in Detroit.
