Beginning his career as an illustrator in a publisher's studio after studying art and graphics in Bristol, Chris Forsey has been an artist for most of his working life. With his studio in Dorking, Surrey, and The North Downs on his doorstep, Chris finds constant inspiration from the landscape around him. He embraces a mixed-media approach to his work, fusing watercolour, pastel and gouache to create his coastal and countryside scenes. Using a combination of colour, expressive mark-making and powerful compositions, he aims to capture precise moments in time; sudden changes in light, a time of day or season. Widely exhibited in galleries across the UK, Chris has won The Matt Bruce Award and The Donald Blake Award for contemporary watercolour. In 2010 he became part of The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.

We use 2mm cast acrylic, which is visually indistinguishable from glass and virtually unbreakable. 

We specifically do not use styrene, as, though cheaper, it is normally only 1mm thick, offers far less support, and goes yellow over time. 

We use MDF backboard for strength. As MDF is a wood product, it can contain acids. To safeguard against these leeching out and affecting your print, we insert an acid free sheet of conservation barrier board between the back and print. 

All of our prints are delivered ready to hang.
