Cecile Grace Charles - Fine Artist-Author
Professional Artist
Four years College in the arts.
Plus eight years private classical training in oils, watercolors, acrylics and mixed media techniques.
Currently producing Abstracts, traditional works in watercolor and acrylics and mixed media.
Current Mediums: Gouache, opaque watercolor, watercolor, acrylic and mixed media.
I produce artworks for private sale, book illustrations for first time indie authors and have a few illustrations on books.
I am eclectic and produce artworks as single images and as multiples in series. I am not confined to one style although the techniques I most favor are visible across all of my artworks.
Surface Design
My design concept is using the tools on the market in this case the digital format,to re-imagine hundreds of my artworks as both color coded groups as well as multi-product design possibilities. My designs carry my signature paint strokes because they come from an original work. My designs are art organic. Have you ever tried something, found you have a knack for it and then it explodes into a full blown part of your creative life? It may be something new from my bodies of work but it will be a constant from this point onward.
Art Teacher- Home school formal program through a local private school for three years.
Currently I teach Beginning Basics In Art to students and apprenticed artists of all ages, with private lessons.
Art Prints, sold through my studio and online.
Originals, sold through my studio and online.
I am an eclectic artist, I express myself with equal skill no matter the subject, be it traditional, conceptual, contemporary or abstract, with some political satire thrown in.
I have produced greeting cards with many images in the past, but am currently focusing on painting a series for a specific project called Smart Ask Cards, which will be presented for distribution when fully developed.
Currently working on two series, Perching Hummingbirds, and Visiting Dragonflies.
