Charley won his first award in grammar school for an interpretive drawing of the story, "Three Little Pigs." Despite this early indication of promise, he did little but an occasional pencil sketch with the exception of one semester of architectural drafting at Penn.
Grown and married; Charley made the family Christmas cards. He created line drawings, had them printed, and his children added colors. Aware of his interest in art, the children bought him an oil painting set one year for Father's Day which launched a wonderful hobby. Eventually friends began to buy his oils, and Charley started to take his hobby more seriously.
Since 1987, Charley has exhibited and won numerous awards in the Philadelphia and New Jersey Shore area. He is represented by the Art Ventures Gallery in Springhouse, PA; Dorothy Carrol Fine Arts in Stone Harbor, NJ and Washington Commons Gallery in Cape May, NJ. He has illustrated children's books for McCracken Educational Services, Blaine, Washington and recently published his first book, "A Memoir of WWII."
