"Chris Armstrong paints with the grace and confidence of considerable training and well-distilled purpose. Armstrong's pictures are most agreeable to look at, but he has, in addition, both a conscience and a nervously weird eye on the world and its people. The who and where that he offers are isolated, quietly perilous, and subconsciously full of warning. They are also alive and ever so slightly promising of connection and hope. Armstrong has a unique and dangerously honest vision, and he renders it with disarming precision."
-- Frederick G. Dillen, author of Hero and Fool.
