Welcome to the website of Chris N. Wood, Fine Artist
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.
