BIOGRAPHY

Originally from Brooklyn, NY from a family of artists I am a painter by nature. Over the last 3 years or so I have been working primarily in drawing, installation and most recently short videos. My work pushes the boundaries of drawing focusing on the exploration of line and the mark making process. One can say it's obsessive, conceptual, fragile, lyrical, playful, quiet chaos. Unexpected simple moments of everything and nothing.

Hi Dianne, Sounds like you needed the gettaway to refresh...I am heading to Santa Fe. NM Just to refresh and look at alot of art. I find it hard not to ruminate about success and failure as an artist and this gets in the way of being an artist. Must look at getting the glass empty and then on to making art. I am always energized by other artists whether they are good or not or I like what they are doing it helps me focus and reference where I am...I am looking forward to see what you are doing and hope that all is well with you also. Best to you, Charlie .

Hi Dianne, Thanks. A compliment!!!!! I have moved to this series based on dreams and narrative dreams. I am working one today called "The Monster Within". Its really good to hear from you as I thought I might have scared you off with my "goings on" I get excited about other artists work. I like to encourage what I see is tough ground to plow. Catherine McCormack Skiba is another one I like to encourage I guess there are about ten of you out there in ART-LAND. Some day if I strike it rich I want to build an art center in the Southwest where artists come to create and share every evening in a group festive kiva atmosphere food and drink and conversation. Each artist would have their own room and a studio attached with glass open to the mountains. The ART LAND would house about 75-100 people from all walks of art and music. Gehry would design it.\Enough for now. Muchas Gratias Charlie Pencil work is like brush strokes raw and unabashed. .

Wow Dianne, your work needs a roadmap...I can't seem to connect all the dots...I do feel something about it that is we are in deep trouble because we mankind cannot communicate anymore on a social level...am I close?Charlie .
