Chris Martin

Previous ArtistNext Artist Chris Martin Chris Martin was born in Manhattan in 1986 and has had a passion for making art since kindergarten. Chris uses no visual aids, nor does he use so much as a simple ruler when creating his intricate drawings. He uses a rich application of colored pencil, his sole medium. Chris graduated from the East Side Community High School where he was the most talented artist in his class. In 2005 he attended the Art Students League of New York and was the recipient of an award that was presented to him at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In recent years his love of drawing has increased and he has become more focused on sports, stadiums and logos. Chris has been working in the PVA studio since 2007. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions and private collections.
