Coastlines Collection: Manhattan Painting

GP X RH ARTIST | .art | | Christian is a Disabled Veteran who served his country with the United States Marine Corps. He spends his time painting as a therapeutic exercise for anxiety and PTSD.  Christian was born in Michigan, raised in Los Angeles and lived in the streets of Seattle while attending Art School. Christian started oil painting in Seattle while working various law enforcement jobs. Christian went on to become one of the first Federal Air Marshalls hired after 9/11. Christian since moved to Phoenix where he continued his education obtaining a Masters degree in Psychology. With his passion for art and his quest to understand human behavior, Christian dedicates his time and a percentage of every sale to PTSD and anxiety research.   Christian's other creative outlets include music and writing. He wrote his first song at the age of 10 and released his first album in 1998, which he wrote, played, recorded and produced every song. Music is Christian’s inspirational catalyst that provides the dynamic energy that he puts into every work of art. His life experience and education inspire Christian to capture human understanding through his art.  Visit christian’s website to preview his art pieces, book a private visit to his studio and sign up or the newsletter at  for more information on his upcoming solo Art exhibit in October 2019.
