Charlie Powell has always been interested in art, although his profession was owning a professional Pharmacy for 40 years.

He has also attended several week long classes in other parts of the country. His medium is acrylic. He loves working with color and it gives him great pleasure to produce a painting that he likes and others enjoy. He does both realistic and abstract painting. He also likes to photograph flowers and make notecards from his works.  Charlie has been in several art shows locally and is represented by Tag Galleries in Fells Point Baltimore

His Artist Statement: Wild places assure me of a vital bond with nature. In vast expanses untouched by human designs, infinite images fill the panoramas, and I join with all creation and know my place in the world.
