Chris Thorkelson

I am an American living in Cardiff, Wales. My favourite media are watercolour, acrylics and ink. I also make three-dimensional art, ranging from bas relief to deeper dioramas.

In addition to works displayed on this website, I accept commissions for paintings and sculptures. I specialise in pictures of buildings, especially houses, but am open to any subject. Prices usually range from £50 to £100 for pictures, (not including framing) or £125 and up for three dimensional works. To see samples or discuss terms, please e-mail me at chris@thorkelson.co.uk. If you are not happy with the work you are not obliged to purchase it.

My brother Nick is also an artist and graphic designer, and he's a great cartoonist as well. His cartoons are mostly political and historical. To see his work go to http://www.nickthorkelson.com/.
PAINTINGS

I have been drawing and painting since childhood. My favourite media are watercolour and pen & ink, but also work in charcoal, acrylics and others. Samples of recent commissions are shown in house portraits:

Some people really like my sketches, so here's a few to sample. You can also figure out where I have been lately.

SCULPTURE

Recent work has explored adding depth – literally – to representations of scenes . They might be called bas reliefs as they use a lot of compression. Some are miniature dioramas.
