| Education and biography | |
| Christopher attended St. Mary’s College from 1978 to 1983 and under the tutelage of Luigi St. Omer (son of renowned St. Lucian artist Dustan St. Omer) was among the founding members of the St. Mary’s College Art Troupe in 1978. While at school Christopher claimed several titles from competitions, both nationally and internationally (including the Cable & Wireless art competition, the FAO World Food Day poster competition, International Taiwanese Children’s art competition). Following St. Mary’s he went on to the St. Lucia ‘A’ Level College (now the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College). Christopher joined the Forestry Division in 1985 where he was assigned tour guide duty on the Central Rainforest Trail, among the first eco-tourism sites on St. Lucia. It was then he honed in on wildlife illustration and assisted in production of environmental education material of the Forestry Division. He went on the University of New Brunswick (Canada) in 1987 to pursue a 5-year BSc degree in Forest Resources Management. During these years did very little artwork except to compete in a competition hosted by the university in which he won first prize. On returning to St. Lucia he became Assistant Chief Forestry Officer (Operations) where he specialized in watershed management. He integrated this work in a Masters (1997) followed by a PhD (2003) degree from McGill University in Montréal, Canada. In 2002 he became the Chief Agricultural Planning Officer in the Ministry of Agriculture. In 2005 moved on to the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute (CEHI) where he currently holds the position of Programme Director. CEHI is the CARICOM agency responsible for environmental matters in the wider Caribbean region. Over the years Christopher exhibited many times at the M&C Fine Arts competition, claiming prizes in various categories including overall winner of the Visual Category, 1st Prize for painting, Popular Choice award, and a special award of recognition. His work has been exhibited in local galleries and has been featured in many environmental education publications including the regional Caribbean Conservation Association bird poster series Birds of Our Island, and the St. Lucia National Trust A-Z of St. Lucia Wildlife. One of his St. Lucia Parrot pieces was featured in A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies (1998) published by Princeton University Press. His work is also to be a featured in a major Canadian Wildlife magazine. Christopher's last exhibition entitled 'Nature through an artist's eyes' was held in March 2005 at the Alliance Francaise in Castries, St. Lucia. |
