JOAN CHARLES

I once heard my art described as "sweetly sinister". It is true that I've always been drawn to the mysterious. After all, even the sunniest days have a little darkness - the deepest shadows are cast at high noon. I guess that dichotomy is reflected in my work, along with the desire to convey emotion and to capture that elusive moment when something momentous is about to happen... I paint pictures for galleries, exhibitions, and for private collectors in my little studio in Santa Monica, California... The art of Joan Charles
