ABOUT CHRIS THORN

BIOGRAPHY

This is no ordinary site where you might be tempted to buy something, click, and regret it later. You can buy nothing direct from my site as I will make what you want, rather than sell you something 'in stock'. You are most welcome to review my images and consider what options I can offer. Then email me your requirements and any questions and I will respond by return.

I live in the beautiful Somerset countryside near the Avalon Marshes, a great place to observe many of our native species of wildlife. Somerset Crafts gallery is set within The Avalon Marshes Centre. Visitors can enjoy inspirational nature trails and shop and eat at the centre. More info at www.avalonmarshes.org

I have been a radiographer since the late 60's and I sketch and paint wildlife. The gallery is shared with other local artists and makers, and so there is a wide choice of art and hand crafted items to view. More information on website.      www.somersetcrafts.com

20% of all sales are donated to Natural England, in support of their work in maintaining the amazing Somerset Levels.
