Che Chorley | Visual Artist | b.1982
Che Chorley is an award winning artist with an affinity for the ocean and those who call it home. Che is blessed to be in a position in which he can pursue such an accidental art-form, taking his art practice seriously, but not necessarily expecting serious results.
Che studied photography at the Centre for Creative Photography in Adelaide, and is currently exploring new horizons and seascapes in the Northern Territory.
Che has worked throughout Australia and internationally and continues to work commercially for a variety clients when he's not bobbing about in the ocean.
Che is available for commissions and collaboration.
