In the open, natural light can transform figures, shapes and life in seconds. My work uses analog and digital photography to convey my desire to render these moments and communicate contemporary themes through the places I explore. Enfermo is a series of landscapes invoking the desolate imagery of Mars and wildfire skies.

While working as a digital artist in Los Angeles, Chris Wilson completed his MFA in film production at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles in 1996.

Since 2000, he has been a full time professor of digital arts at Cerritos College in Norwalk, California.
