A Note from Char:

The driving force behind my art is an enduring interest in experiencing color, shapes and sizes as images manifest on canvas.  It’s an emotional resonance similar to the way over time our relationships with others manifest.   Each painting takes on a life of its own even though I start with a concept utilizing specific techniques with deliberate outcomes.  While applying paint, using various techniques, the colors and shapes start to come together.  This determines what the final painting will become.  I love how each painting speaks to me during the process and how the juxtaposition of combining mediums create a unique experience and a one-of-a-kind art piece. While applying multiple techniques in my work, each painting reveals the universal exchanges found in my art.  I attempt to paint from an inward experience and allow the paint and materials to take on a life of their own.  There is also a time-base quality to the physicality found in my work.  Each piece is created over several days and weeks, using layers of paint, resin, inks, and recyclable articles.  I am compelled by what might be obscured and revealed by this approach.  These compilations, with imagery and inspiration sometimes masked, develop over time. Paintings made today often times require a response to the paintings of yesterday.
