Christopher is an American Artist who takes a unique approach to his environmental abstract paintings in that he uses both traditional and non-traditional mixed media. Using a specific balance of sand and gesso, he will throw the medium onto the surface section by section until individual portions of the work become unified. After that he paints in a variety of chroma giving it the rendering that brings each composition to life. Arnold says, "I want the viewer to be aware of the moments captured through a mixed combination of form, nature and medium." He make it clear that viewers should recognize the elements of the environment and come to their won conclusions about the subject matter.
