Episode 101: Christopher Moss

Kevin Kirkwood visits the Savannah, Georgia studio of painter Christopher Moss, a space Christopher built by hand alongside his father, and the setting for an afternoon conversation about memory, place, and the quiet work of building a creative life.

Together, they trace his path from a childhood in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, through earning his MFA at CUNY Brooklyn College, to the practice he has cultivated in Savannah. Along the way, they reflect on what it means to create paintings rooted in a sense of home, and how that sense evolves over time.

Christopher’s recent exhibitions include a two artist show with Sue Fox at Lyndon House Arts Center (Athens, GA), as well as EASTSIDE 11 at Ology Gallery (Savannah). The conversation also looks ahead to his participation in ArtFields 2026, one of the largest art competitions in the South, on view April 10 through May 2.
