Paintings, Prints and Drawings Inspired by Weather, Landscape and Time

Chris N. Wood is a UK-based fine artist whose work moves between atmosphere, narrative, and a deep sense of place. Born in 1952, his lifelong fascination with the sea — shaped by years of professional sailing — continues to inform a body of work rooted in coast, weather, light, and movement.

Working across watercolour, oil, linocut, wood engraving, and other printmaking processes, Chris approaches each piece with close observation, curiosity, and a quiet respect for the changing character of the natural world. His paintings and prints reflect not only what is seen, but also what is remembered and felt.

Chris is an active member of ArtSpace Portsmouth, Portsmouth Urban Sketchers, and the Ipswich Art Society, and he often works en plein air in Hampshire and Suffolk.

ArtSpace Portsmouth Open Studios
ArtSpace Portsmouth Open Studios (20 and 21 June 2026) was the culmination of a lot of very hard work from everyone and I believe it was well worth the effort as it was a huge success ! We had over 300 visitors over the weekend and studio 3 was awash with enthusiasm and complimentary remarks. We had some excellent conversations. Finally, I had an enquiry from someone who would like me to illustrate her forthcoming book and from another visitor, potentially, a couple of sales.
