Almost Home Studio - Chris O'Herron Artist Profile Video

An emerging CT artist and Simsbury native, Chris O'Herron creates portraits in charcoal or oil. The Illustration program at Syracuse University, from which Chris graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2001, let him learn a variety of media, introduced him to the professional art world and whet his appetite for painting. Without doubt the most significant part of his education, in 2000 Chris took advantage of a wonderful opportunity studying and creating art in Florence, Italy.

Interested in broadening and exploring new subject matter, Chris is currently honing his craft using the CT landscape as well as its various man-made environments. Endless inspiration comes from the tobacco fields, people and semi-rural settings where he grew up.

In addition to producing hundreds of portraits of loved ones and pets for individuals and families, Chris has donated his time and art to help raise money and awareness for the Simsbury Main Street Partnership, the Junior League of Waterbury, Chip In For A Cure (a charity for Cancer research), "Shakespearience" (a non-profit educational group for kids), and "Art From Connecticut Forests" (an educational exhibit organized by the CT Department of Environmental Protection.)
