Christopher received his Bachelors in Fine Arts and Masters in Fine Arts from San Francisco Art Institute.
My art practice focuses on Black Joy- a spiritual feeling that has uplifted the African Diaspora through countless trials and tribulations in the quest for freedom and equality. It defies a simplistic explanation. It is my vehicle for connection, educating others and sharing my experience as a Black man. These steps are necessary to overcome bigotry, hatred and indifference, to embrace the pursuit of joy.
