About Me

Hi I’m Chris, below is one of my favorite photos of all time. It survived Hurricane Katrina!

Hello? I am a professor at the University of Georgia School of Social Work. Why am I doing this? Well, I am not a professional artist, nor do I have any inclination that I will be. I have this site because I’ve painted for a long time and this is a decent way to document and organize for myself what I have made in the past 2 decades. That’s it!

Well, if we are being honest with each other, I may also be engaging in a bit of a midlife crisis thing by doing this. But who cares! I hope your midlife crisis is a good one and no one judges you for it.

As this is a “About Me” page I’ll try to say some other things about my life. Umm. I am a father. I research the impact of climate change on mental health. I’m also a mental health professional whose expertise lies in treating severe and persistent mental illness. My favorite band is Pearl Jam.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I literally wrote about that above this. How dare you?

  • Yes I did! It was called teammanfred.art (link now dead, RIP) and I had it for close to 6 years. I never liked the URL and wanted a change. ManfredStudios is such a more satisfying website name… In my opinion.

  • “Manfred” is a name of a band I am in. By “band”, it is just me and my dear dear friend playing music together. It’s an act of love like no other and it is a privlege to name this site after this relationship. Also Manfred refers to a wild econ professor this friend and I shared in college.

  • You can go to. myother webpage http://chrisweatherlyphd.com/ for more information.

  • Maybe. I am very vague about this because I still don’t have the confidence to put prices up. I have a page up of new art (link). All of this art was made with the intention of selling it. If another piece on this site interests you, let me know. I am also taking commissions. This is true! And very exciting, never thought I would say that.

  • No. Obviously not. Squarespace had a FAQ function that I thought I would try. I don’t advertise this website, no one goes to it. It’s ok. But thank you for asking

  • Sure but this is not the place to be asking this question.
