About Chris

​

Chris Bodary is a fine artist based in Chester County, Pennsylvania. He grew up in Downingtown, PA. His artistic approach is a blend of technical skill, intuition, and empathy for his subjects. Chris aims to capture not just the likeness but also the mood of his subjects, to create a strong composition that you don't want to look away from.

Family is at the heart of Chris’s world.  He and his wife were married in 2016, and the family grew to three kids, a dog, and a cat. Juggling the many hats of parent, professional, and artist is a challenging yet deeply rewarding adventure. For Chris, being a dad isn’t just a role—it’s a core part of who he is  and is a constant source of inspiration for his artwork.​

Before pursuing art, running played a significant role in Chris’s life. He competed in Track and Field and Cross Country for the University of Tennessee, earning honors such as All-SEC Conference and All-South Region titles. Although he now channels his energy into his artistic pursuits, the discipline and drive from his athletic days continue to guide his journey as an artist.
