Hello & Welcome to my website. My name is Chris Chalk and I am a professional artist with 18 years experience working from my studio in Pembrokeshire, in West Wales. I specialise in landscape painting commissions of Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. As well as Welsh landscapes, I paint wildlife art and pet portraits.
On this website you will find a wide range of original artwork for sale, including limited and open edition giclée prints. I work exclusively in oils, and all of the original works on this website are oil paintings. On this website you can:
"I fell in love at first sight with my picture of the albatross. Chris really captured the majesty of the bird and the little details make it very special. It has pride of place in my living room."
- Sam Bedingham

"Dad absolutely adores the painting, he is chuffed to bits, it's hanging up proudly in the living room - so, I cannot thank you enough. It was lovely to come down to your studio and meet you also."
- Heulwen Thomas
Pembrokeshire, Wales
"I am delighted with my Welsh landscapes which represent a great example of your skill and artistic talent. They also remind me so much of happy times spent in Pembrokeshire many years ago."
- David Williams

Skokholm Island Bird Art - I was thrilled to be invited to Skokholm Island Bird Observatory, off the coast of Pembrokeshire, in 2022 and 2023, to paint the most recent rare birds discovered on the island. These birds were a Moltoni's warbler and a Tennessee Warbler, both incredibly rare sightings in Wales, and the UK. The bird observatory is managed by the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, and it's a tradition for the rare birds to be painted for posterity.
