Biography - Chris C. Nolan

From as early as I can remember, I've had an intense interest in the visual arts. My Aunt June was an amateur oil painter and summers were spent near Cape Cod where I watched her paint seascapes. I thought of the creation of a painting as something magical and still do.

Many years later I graduated with a degree in elementary education, but I never lost my enthusiasm for the visual arts. While teaching I found it very difficult to make time to paint. Soon I was enjoying taking reference photos as much as the painting.

So started my obsession with photography. I left teaching to pursue photography - landscape, close-up, floral, abstract and more recently, black and white through the magic of digital processing. I've also started creating digital art pieces from the photography, bringing me full circle back to art. I hope you enjoy the web site.
