About the Artist

Chris Dreyer is an award winning watercolor artist. He began taking private lessons at the age of 10, and was trained in many art mediums in the years to follow. While studying architecture at Southern Illinois University, he was introduced to watercolor. Inspired by its beauty and intricate nature, he immediately felt a need to learn more. Through an active exploration of the media, watercolor has allowed Chris to challenge himself as an artist and express himself as a person. It has become the “heart” of his work, as he captures memories of past experiences and the beauty of nature.

Travels from Mexico to Maine and back to his home on the Wisconsin River have been his inspiration. From tropical beaches to rural roads... there is never a lack of subject matter.

Commissioned work is always welcome. Watercolor painting has been Chris’s passion for over 20 years. Now you can commission him to preserve your favorite memories… a special place, person, experience, or the beauty of nature…can be yours or purchased as a uniquely personalized gift. Be sure to allow plenty of time. It generally takes 4-6 weeks to complete each work of art
