about
Born in 1974, Chris Hill grew up in Ormond Beach, Florida where the ocean was his motivating teacher. From surfing, sailing, scuba diving and working as a lifeguard on the beach, the sea was always there as an inspiration.
He started creating art at a very young age, winning Art Awards, excelling in his high school's AP Art Program and graduating from Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA in painting in 1997. Chris loves blending his passions: traveling, scuba diving and creating art around the world.
