Christopher Mizen

I studied at Portsmouth College of Art and Design in the 80’s, after which my art gave way to a career in video production. I picked up a paintbrush again about 8 years ago as demands of family life began to ease, a decision that has proved immensely rewarding.
We moved to Christchurch 4 years ago and quickly fell in love with it’s unique character and natural beauty, especially Stanpit Marsh, which remains a constant source or inspiration
We are lucky to live by the river and for the past couple of years, a pair of Mallards, now known affectionately as Mike and Maeve. The have taken up residence outside our house and garden.
You can see them depicted in the June exhibition.
