About

Pacem Studio is the artwork of Christopher Santer, a Catholic artist in pursuit of beauty and mystery through art. Whether through portraits of saints, sacred art commissions, architectural studies, or landscape paintings, Santer finds this pursuit joyfully enduring, the well never running dry.

Santer created Pacem Studio in 1999 in response to an overwhelming demand for printed copies of two commissioned paintings he had recently completed. These were “Christ With Children” and “The Good Shepherd,” which reside in Santer’s childhood parish and school in Parkersburg, West Virginia. In subsequent years, Pacem Studio has expanded to include over 100 available prints, most notably with the beginning of the “Portraits of Saints” series in 2008.

Santer earned a Master of Fine Arts from Ohio University in 1994 and has exhibited widely throughout the United States. Prints of his artwork have been shipped to all 50 states and 12 foreign countries.
