Chuck's Bio
He's an instructor with an articulate New England accent on his views of teaching art, all form the soul of a raconteur. A former NFL football player, he dispels the notion that there might be anything called a typical artist. Whether the subject is football or the latest book on Picasso, he brings thoughtful and colorful enthusiasm to the classroom discussion. His work hangs in many private and corporate collections including R.J. Reynolds, Virginia Tech and the SAS Institute.
Chuck has a professional background in Commercial and Graphic Art and retired from a career as an Advertising Executive. He now focuses his artistic talents on the finer points of painting and as a teacher and lecturer. He is actively teaching workshops around the country.
Chuck has a steady following of students who praise his nurturing and encouragement in their art endeavors. He has developed the ability to distill the essence of the subject deftly and simply, leaving the viewer's imagination intact to fill in the details.
Chuck brings humor and storytelling to his classes and workshops. His emphasis is on design, form and color, keeping shapes simple. His purpose is to entertain the viewer and to create a mood or feeling about the subject matter. A painter of oils and watercolors, landscapes, florals and portraits, he loves both mediums. "Watercolor is very spontaneous, it's exactly what it says, water and color, and with that, it's easier to create that special mood." Chuck believes there is always something new to learn and loves to see his students learn and to take a chance with their painting.
