Statement

CHARLES H. STINSON STUDIO

Art-making is a life-long exploration, a journey, a never-ending experiment in trusting creativity as works-in-progress evolve into their unique forms.

My art training has been mostly self-directed and wide ranging: drawing, photography, printmaking, painting, sculpting, and work in new media.

Unifying that diversity is my underlying aim to create emotionally evocative, thought-provoking works, ideally with elegant, spare, or unusual esthetic resolutions, and with layers of meaning that invite and sustain close, thoughtful inspection, and discovery.
