	Christopher Weigand- Born, raised and currently living in Northeast Ohio. As best I can tell I've been designing, building, and painting things my entire life. Some of my earliest memories are of days spent drawing houses and cars, or coloring pictures to hang up on the wall. I am a professional designer and a self taught artist. My interest in art and my talents are thanks to my parents, who always encouraged me to do my best. Art classes before my college years were few and far between, so that forced me to shape my craft solo. Working as a carpenter gave me an appreciation for hard work and helped me realize that art touches everyone, and in a way, we're all artists. I graduated with a BFA in Industrial Design and have worked in the Cleveland area ever since. I live with my wife and one very special grey furball. 2010 Kent Art in the Park 2010 Medina Art in the Park 2010 Delaware Artfest 2010 American Greetings Spring Art Show 2009 American Greetings Creative Gallery Show 2009 Delaware Artfest 2009 Willoughby Artfest
