Spurwood Studio - Art by Chris Birks

Chris has been creating art for most of his life, always treating it as a true vocation rather than simply a career or hobby. His deep connection to nature and animals shines through in every piece he produces.

Since 2017, Chris has specialised in painting pet portraits and wildlife in oils from his studio in Halsall, near Ormskirk in Lancashire. His work captures the charm, character, and quiet beauty of rural life—making his pieces a perfect addition to any country kitchen or home seeking that cosy, countryside atmosphere.

In recent years, Chris has further expanded his artistic practice, exploring watercolour, pastels, and pen & ink to create an even broader range of pet portraits, wildlife artwork, people portraits, and equine studies. Whether you're looking to bring warmth to your living space, celebrate your love of animals, or add a touch of rustic elegance to your décor, Chris’s artwork offers timeless pieces that enrich any home with a heartfelt, country-inspired aesthetic.
