About

Charles was born in Georgia and  raised in Missouri by his grandparents.  Although his writing desire began earlier, it flourished during high school. He wrote and illustrated a running column while in community college.  Later he received a B.S. in Art Education and a Masters in School Administration. 

His artwork has earned him numerous awards and is in private collections.  He has also painted murals for a local hospital and two different school districts.  When a former president made his historic visit to Poplar Bluff, Charles produced President in the Park as a limited edition print to memorialize one very special Labor Day. 

Although his artwork has brought him more attention, he also enjoys writing and illustrating books for children and adults.  Charles and his wife currently live in southeast Missouri where he teaches elementary art.
