My Philosophy
From my "Cabin in the Woods" studio, I paint with the belief that art has the power to lift, connect, and awaken something joyful in all of us. Surrounded by nature’s rhythm and beauty, I create in vibrant, expressive colour — often with cotton candy skies and kaleidoscopic patterns — to reflect the wonder I see in the world.
Love the title "Sisterly Love"
Beautiful painting. We absolutely love it.

Amazing painting!!!!
We fell in love with this painting! Char is amazing both in her artistic ability and her customer service. We purchased a large painting for above our sofa in our living room and couldn’t be happier beautiful. Beautiful colours. If you were looking at any of her artwork, do not hesitate to purchase a piece well worth the value and the shear joy of her artwork!

Charlene customized several beautiful, bright and vibrant paintings for my home. The first commissioned piece was inspired by the colours of summer. It makes me smile daily.
