Born in the late 1970’s Chuck grew up as a part of a tight-knit family, the second of three sons, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. Although influenced by the work of The Hudson River School Painters, G. Harvey, and several other painters, Chuck is most often compared to Thomas Kinkade. Chuck’s inspiration comes from the love of beauty, a passion for truth and the desire to create images that both communicate and bring joy to others.
