Chris Paxson was born in Atlantic City, graduated from Stockton State College, and lives with his wife and daughter in Absecon. After school he entered the commercial art/display industry, founding Coastline Creations and specializing in the design and fabrication of three-dimensional pieces such as sculptures, props, and exterior art. In the last several years, he has begun sculpting on his own, drawing inspiration from nature, tribal art, and the Jersey Shore.
For the last 25 years Chris has made his living as a commercial artist. When you make your living bringing other people’s visions to life, it’s easy to forget the joy that comes in taking a risk, in creating something purely for yourself. These sculptures are a return to why he got into art in the first place.
