Greetings! I’m Charles, a seasoned artist with three decades of professional painting experience.

Based in Rhode Island alongside the incredibly creative Bonnie Lee Turner, I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects, catering to clients ranging from healthcare facilities and museums to churches, government entities, and individuals.

My expertise spans a wide array of artistic endeavors, including murals, portraits, canvas paintings, mosaics, and restoration work.

Collaborating with Bonnie on large-scale mural and mosaic projects is a delightful part of my artistic journey, and we’re always open to travel for commissioned works.

Here’s a glimpse of the artistic services I offer:

Murals: Specializing in hand-painted murals, I can create custom designs of any size and height, anywhere in the country. From the captivating scenic mural in Rhode Island Hospital’s cafeteria to the intricate diorama mural for a Science Museum in New Jersey, my portfolio showcases a variety of well-received works.

Portraits: My hand-painted portraits not only capture the unique appearance of individuals but also convey their personality. Whether in oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, or even mosaic, each portrait is a timeless piece of art. Explore my portfolio to witness the charm of portraits, including heartwarming pet portraits.

Paintings: Commission an oil or acrylic painting on cotton or linen canvas, with subjects ranging from any theme. You can also acquire original pieces from my private collection, such as the stunning Rhode Island seascapes featured on my Paintings page.

Restoration Work: I specialize in bringing damaged murals and decorative art back to life. From repairing and repainting the historic mural in the dome of the Rhode Island State House to restoring the faux finish at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, I’ve revived artworks at various locations, including St. Peter’s By The Sea Church in Narragansett and Fairholme Mansion in Newport, RI.

Always on the lookout for captivating commissions, I invite you to reach out and explore the possibilities of creating unique and inspiring art together. I’m excited about the prospect of collaborating with you!
