Join us at the Hidden Inn for complimentary drinks and hors d’oeuvres and meet Manhattan and Roxbury artist Chris Durham and see his works exhibited in the Gold Room at the Hidden Inn.
About the Artist
Christopher Durham was born in Hopewell, Virginia. Raised on a small farm, he developed three loves early on: animals, acting and art. Upon graduating from the College of William and Mary, he moved to New York City to pursue his acting career and has successfully worked ever since. His most notable appearances have included roles on “Pan Am,” “Body of Proof,” “Rescue Me,” ”Third Watch,” ”Law and Order,” “Law and Order Criminal Intent,” “Law and Order SVU,” and “Gossip Girl” among many others. From hosting a game show on The Food Network to anchoring “The Onion”, he has also enjoyed long stints as spokesman for national ad campaigns and producer/host on The Hallmark Channel.
His other passions have received equal professional attention. His love of animals led him to become a NYC Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator in 1998, which allows him to aid injured and orphaned fauna in the wilds of Manhattan and environs. He divides his time between there and his Catskills farmhouse.
In 1994, he celebrated his first gallery exhibition at CFM Gallery in SoHo. Although he works mostly in pen/ink and watercolor, he has also been recently experimenting with acrylics to considerable acclaim and success. He has been featured in the famed windows of Van Clef and Arpels jewelers in New York City as well as Elle Décor, M, and Victoria magazines and The New York Times.
Like another Catskills arts denizen, John Burroughs, Christopher considers himself a naturalist in all his pursuits.
We are very excited to hold this event at the Inn, which is free and open to the public, and look forward to everyone in the community joining us for this great evening celebrating a local artist.
