About Chuck
 

I consider myself a professional vagabond, mainly because I have lived all over the US, but also because in the mid 80s I had someone tell a good friend of mine I would end up homeless living under a bridge somewhere. At the time I was very hurt by this, but now I see the humor in it.
 
I grew up in Kansas the youngest of 5 children. My childhood started out pretty good but went down hill in my preteens. My parent’s divorced during my 6th grade year, making life pretty tuff. I jumped between a manic-depressive alcoholic mother and an abusive drug dealing/alcoholic father up until I was 16.
 
I dropped out of high school and moved out on my own, It was a very long and tuff road but over the years I have managed to continue my education and work my way up in the corporate world.
 
I currently reside in Colorado and I'm very proud of where I am today and what I have been able to accomplish. I do suffer many regrets about my past, both in bad decisions made and people I've hurt, but the past is just that "the past" and we must move on and always look forward.
 
So what does all this have to do with my art, everything!
 
I started doing art and photography back in 2005. It started as simple hobby and one I quickly discovered fed my soul, today I can't imagine not having Art in my life.
 
My art speaks volumes about my journeys and me; I use it to deal with and work through emotions, most of which come out in the work. 
 
Being a firm believer in the free access to art & ideas on the Internet, I have made most items on my web site available to you free. Please see my copyright policy page for full details.
