Born in Philadelphia and raised in Bucks County Pennsylvania, J. Charles spent many years observing the quiet beauty of that historical area. Now working at home in his renovated farmhouse in the Oley Valley, Berks County; the fields of wildflowers, fish filled ponds and game in the back yard provide constant sources for his work. Many trips throughout the United States and Canada have enhanced his reference materials for the diverse subject matter found in his current work. As a young painter, J. Charles found himself moving between formal training and various instructors gaining technique from many areas. A reading of The Art Spirit, by Robert Henry as well as texts by J.F. Carlson and B. Kuhn guided him towards the style with which he paints today. His feeling that all types of art and periods throughout history have something to offer, has influence on his work on a daily basis. J. Charles work is found in many private and museum collections internationally and throughout the United States. He has exhibited in various group and one man shows. His work is currently being handled by selected galleries and licensing groups. His licensed work can be found on numerous textile, clothing, bath and kitchenware products.
