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.
