Christopher Lumgair was born in Sidmouth, England and spent his early childhood in Korea, Japan and Africa.

His love of architecture and drawing was kindled by a visit with his family to the ruined Roman city of Lepcis Magna in Libya.

His talent for drawing was recognised by his art master at Victoria College, Jersey who encouraged him to study at West Sussex College of Art, an college near the family’s home in Chichester.

He went on to study Visual Communications at Corsham (Bath Academy of Art) which led to a career in graphic design.

Christopher’s return to drawing later in life provides an outlet for his love of architecture and interest in social types.

His style and approach is influenced by many artists including Daumier, Daubigny, Degas, Monet, Manet, Whistler, Scheile.
