Chris Warnock

My artistic journey is defined by a lifelong dedication to crafting physical and emotional experiences. Awarded a full scholarship to The Cooper Union School of Art at age sixteen, I studied multiple fine art disciplines – including film, which led me to Hollywood.

There, I honed my technical skills as a modelmaker and prop builder, eventually evolving into a designer of museum exhibits and interactive displays.

After decades of shaping physical narratives, I transitioned into the hospitality sector, focusing on guest experience and the aesthetic redesign of public and private spaces.

Throughout these demanding career evolutions, my personal studio practice remained a vital constant. Today, I continue my painting practice, bringing a lifetime of fabrication, design, and spatial awareness to my art.

Bachelor of Fine Art from The Cooper Union, New York City
