"I have explored and observed the diverse landscape of the Colorado front range trails, fields and parks for over 40 years. I've been working to record those moments in my paintings. With the ever-expanding growth in the area, some of these landscapes may no longer exist or may be drastically changed. I feel it's important to capture them while it's still possible. This is a collection in what I hope will be a lifetime undertaking."
Christopher Hureau came to Colorado Springs over 40 years ago for his last assignment with the U.S. Air Force. After his 10-year Air Force career, he began his lifelong dream of being a full-time artist, first as a commercial artist, then as a landscape painter. He was the Senior Illustrator and Designer at the Air Force Academy from 1996 – 2013. His accomplishments included illustrations and graphic designs for publications, logos and teaching materials for the Cadet Wing. Additionally, he painted traditional portraits of the Academy’s Senior Leadership. His original oil paintings, fine art prints and note cards are exhibited along the Front Range from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins.
