Chris Gaunt is a professional artist living near Norwich in Norfolk. Chris worked and lived in Norwich until 1999 running his own business. He then moved to Yorkshire and ran a successful retail and internet operation selling equipment and clothing for walking and other related leisure activities. Although painting occasionally, work consumed most of his available time and he actually hadn’t picked up a paint brush for about fifteen years.
However after selling the business in 2008 and moving to Scotland in 2009 he resumed his love affair with painting. Inspired by the Scottish landscape he began selling in local galleries and subsequently on line too. His prints and paintings have sold to many countries and has built up a strong following and reputation.
This year Chris moved back to Norfolk for family reasons and is excited at the prospect of drawing inspiration from a new but no less beautiful landscape. A landscape and atmosphere familiar, but at the same time now being newly experienced through an artistic perspective.
In Scotland Chris has paintings at Moray Art Centre, The Picture This gallery in Inverness, The Framers Gallery in Forres and also can be seen on the Saachiart gallery.
