About Charles

    From early childhood, it was evident that God gifted Charles with artistic ability. He has accomplished contemporary and traditional compositions, but his passion is western art. His works depict the subject’s life and his appreciation for art motivates realism.
   
    As a student of art, he studied both the anatomy of animals and people. Charles attended the University of Texas in Arlington where he majored in art. He later studied under a western artist, Don Churchill.

     In 1989, he won the Texas citation award for “Ebony Cleaners,” which toured all of the major cities for one year. He has won, placed, or showed in every juried event in which he has competed. Charles’ love of the outdoors is seen in his paintings. His interest in Western culture and his travels inspire a true distinction as seen in “Blue Indian.” Additionally, Charles uses his knowledge of history to authenticate his work.
    Today, this cowboy artist lives in East Texas and chooses to spend as much time as possible working on his cattle and tree farm. He continues to reach new heights with painting and drawing while cultivating his own style of western art.
