Hello.
Thank you for taking an interest in me and the services I provide. As you explore this site, and the possibilities, please let me know if you have any questions.
I've been an artist, watercolorist, and graphic designer for over thirty years. My passion for art began as a child, revolving around my fascination with horses. These magnificent animals captured my imagination and quickly inspired hundreds of pencil sketches, pastel drawings, and mixed-media paintings. After all these years, the horse continues to inspire me and has launched me into fully understanding who I am, as an artist. My artwork has grown exponentially to include other animals, flowers, and botanically-themed artwork. Floral and nature-inspired artwork pair beautifully for particular use on invitations, stationery, and wedding suites.
Teaching art classes is rewarding in so many ways. My goal is always to impart knowledge and positively inspire my students to begin to see themselves as artists if they don't already, and oftentimes, I am the one who comes away having learned something new and was inspired by my students. Teaching has taught me so much about myself as I learn alongside the students and encourage them as well as myself to see that the world is still filled with beauty and wonder. Together, we can record the beauty we see in the world for the next generation, through the art we create.

All hand-lettering, calligraphy, custom artwork, and graphic design are created as one-of-a-kind and are created, specifically tailored to your individual needs.

Watercolor Classes.
Featured here in these photos, students were acquainted with the basics during the Introduction to Watercolor class and encouraged to explore their potential.
Classes are offered in watercolor for beginner, intermediate, and masterclass levels.
Pour Painting Classes.
Charlene and her husband Anthony teach Pour Painting Classes to students who are looking for a
fun way to create a unique painting. Students learn the basics of how to use pouring methods to make
flow art in acrylic paint on canvas. In each class, Anthony shares his passion for the pouring process and the relaxation it brings. Each student is encouraged to name their painting before pouring to see if the title matches the final look of the painting once done.
Paint Parties.
Charlene offers Paint Parties for large or small groups in either acrylic paint on canvas or watercolor on paper. Each class is tailored to your needs.

"Delighted with my dog's watercolor portrait!
Charlene helped me pick out the best photo,
and I appreciated her guidance on choosing the
best size, and (in my case), choosing a background.
Her eye for detail, and obvious love for animals
shines through her pet portraits. She captured one
of his most unique expressions perfectly.
Charlene is an outstanding artist,
and a joy to work with."
