Christopher Gehrke is a multi-medium artist based in Virginia. His largely self-taught processes range from illustrative work to portrait photography; with recent focus in paper and aluminum embossing. His wistful and muted styling chronicles twenty-five years of living within the Chesapeake watershed, beginning in rural Maryland and presently evolving in Richmond Virginia.

A consistent language exists across each explored medium, themes of romanticism, liminality, and quiet surrealism. Commissioned works often include graphic design, merchandise, portraiture, and book illustration. While outside of the studio, Christopher is most often patroning movie theatres, enjoying live music, and closely noting changes in the moon's phases.
