Welcome to my web site, an electronic portfolio of my art.

I am an artist and illustrator who for a long time specialised in Celtic Art. During that time, I have worked in a variety of media, including pen and ink, digital and paint. I have also taught myself the basics of web design and desktop publishing to promote and produce my work. Over the years my art has appeared in several forms. Principle among those are books, cards, and window transparencies. I now concentrate on digital paintings of fantasy art which are rapidly gaining acclaim. See the paintings section of my gallery for this new work.

I am a member of two online art galleries that allow comments on my work. They can be found at http://chrisdown.epilogue.net/ and http://dysis23a.deviantart.com/.

As a freelance illustrator/artist, I am available for commissions.
