About Chris Watson

In 1980 I began painting at a local shop. It was love at first brush stroke. I joined the Society of Decorative Painters and Yankee Heritage Tole Chapter and was on my way to a most wonderful journey.

In the late 1980's, I began working for the Illinois Bronze paint company which gave me the opportunity to travel teach, demo at conventions and get my certification in faux finishing. Since then I have taught at the SDP Convention in Peoria, Portland Convention, and at several New England Traditions Conventions. I have two ornaments in the SDP Collection at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC. My designs have been in several publications, most recently the cover of the Decorative Painter Magazine.

I feel so blessed to share my love of decorative painting, and make wonderful friends along the way.

I hope you enjoy my website.  Feel free to contact me, I would love to hear from you.

Hugs & Blessings,

Chris
