Charlie has been creating art since an early age. He attended his first art show in 1969, between high school and college. Acrylic paintings was the medium at the time.

Art remained a hobby, working in many mediums, while he pusued his career as an accrdited chef and in foodservice management until 1989 when he returned to his art on a full time basis. It was at this time, he had the concept to create his present art form using stucco cement as a medium. He has received many awards since from top quality art shows throughout the southwest.

Originally from California, Charlie was transferred to Tucson in 1978. He met his wife, Anna, and together have raised their five children and have created quality arts and crafts as a family here since 1986.

His works can be purchased at Art & Crafts shows throughout the Southwest, as well as trade shows, home shows and select galleries, home decor stores and gift shops throughout the United States. Also displayed in homes and businesses in all fifty states and many countries worldwide.
