CHRISTOPHER BAME
CHRISTOPHER BAME was born on June 1, 1955 in Burlington, Vermont. He was premature at birth and diagnosed completely deaf. In his early childhood he was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, and having developmental delays. Bame spent the majority of his childhood in an institutional setting.
He started using art at a young age as a way to communicate with his peers, convey his needs, and tell stories about his day. His narrative paintings and drawings often capture autobiographical storytelling through whimsy and vulnerability.
Bame loves home improvement shows and likes to design homes, blueprints, and maps. He lives with his older sister in Marion, Indiana, where he maintains a steady art practice. His work exhibits with SAGE Studio & Gallery in Austin, Texas.

About the FolkArtwork Collective
Not only can you shop original work from this great artist, there’s much more where that came from! It brings me great pleasure to introduce the FolkArtwork Collective — a phenomenal group of self-taught and contemporary emerging artists from across the globe. Jackie Bradshaw, Esteban Whiteside, Sarah Lee, and Noel Hatfield are the first artists to bring original artwork directly to the FolkArtwork web store on both FolkArtwork.art/shop and directly on Instagram. I am very pleased to also add Reneesha Mccoy, Jordan Sullivan, Gabrielle K Brown, Christopher Bame, Max Kuhn, Ben Gardner and in 2024, Melody Jean Moulton, Dinah Hanson-Carrillo, Lindsay Carraway, Kathy Edwards Hayslett, Lorena Eliasen, Mike Combs, and James Ash to the collective. More artists art continuing to join in 2025 including Des Moines own Alexandre Shiffer, Lesley Miserables from London, and contemporary visionary artist Linda DiLeva.
