Chris Young was born in 1963. He developed a love for drawing at an early age with the
motivation of his father. At age 19, he interrupted his engineering studies at
Brigham Young University to serve as a missionary in Tokyo, Japan. While living
there he was highly influenced by Zen art and design. Soon after returning to
Utah, he decided to change his major to fine art. Another trip abroad—this time
to the great art museums of Europe—had a powerful influence where he became
enamored with the early Spanish and Dutch still-life painters.
Today, Chris works in his Orem, Utah studio where he enjoys the support of his
wife and four active children. His paintings are sold through leading galleries
in the West.
