Hello! I'm Charles👋
Thank you so much for stopping by!
I want you to have a free print from my "Present, The Mindfulness Collection"!
I enjoy how a face pops up in my imagination from interpreting the flowers as eyes, even though the face is not overt. Plus, the color scheme is joyful.

So much color. I feel like it is inspiring happiness. Maybe even fun. I could see this one being motivation to enjoy your thoughts, let them be colorful, don't judge them.

The King and the Court feels like a representation of meditation. An important phase in starting my day. Sort of like seeking the Tao but just getting started sort of thing.

Why I Paint These Reminders of Well-Being
Hello. My name is Charles, and as a painter, my hope is to offer a window into the world of mindfulness through the diverse mediums I use. In my zero waste studio, I mix traditional paints with unexpected up-cycled materials like house paint, scraps of paper, crayons, and pieces of plastic.
My aim is to create a symphony of textures and hues that gently nudges us towards a deeper awareness of our mental well-being. My intention is to guide viewers on a reflective journey. This journey begins with a moment of mindfulness, much like how I start each painting - with eyes closed, envisioning what the canvas might hold.
As I bring these visions to life, my wish is that each element, each color, and stroke, becomes a gentle, physical reminder of the importance of being present.
My studio is my space for advocating for mental health through art.With every brushstroke, I hope to weave a narrative that underscores the importance of mental care.
As people view my paintings, I hope they feel invited to pause, to reflect, and to open their minds to the beauty of the present moment.
The essence of "Presence, The Mindfulness Collection" is an invitation to discover the tranquility in the present, celebrating the intricate tapestry of our mental and emotional landscapes.
Why I am Gifting Prints of My Paintings
In launching 'Present, the Mindfulness Collection', my goal extends beyond merely showcasing my art—it's about spreading a vital message.
This collection is an open invitation to mindfulness and a passionate advocacy for mental health. Each piece is designed to remind us to live in the present, to truly embrace the 'here and now.'
Offering prints from this collection for free is a part of a larger vision.
While I'm eager to share the message of mindfulness and mental health awareness, this giveaway also serves a dual purpose. It introduces my work to a new audience, people who might one day be interested in owning one of my larger original canvases or even commissioning me to create a custom piece of art.
This promotion is a win/win in my eyes. It allows me to contribute positively to people's lives while also opening the door to future artistic collaborations and opportunities.
So, while you enjoy these prints in your homes, offices, or personal spaces, remember they are more than just art. They're reminders to pause, breathe, and connect with the present.
And for those who resonate deeply with my work, this introduction might be the beginning of a beautiful journey together. Someday, you might decide to own a larger piece of my art, or we might collaborate to create something uniquely personal and meaningful for you.
In essence, these free prints aren't just a gift of art; they're an introduction to my world of creativity and a step towards future artistic adventures we may share. Perhaps, this is just the start of our artistic journey together.
By integrating themes of serenity and introspection into my work, I aim to contribute positively to the mental wellness of those who engage with it, offering a peaceful retreat through visual expression.
Additionally, this project is about ensuring that it is accessible to all, regardless of financial means. Distributing prints at no cost allows a wider audience to experience and enjoy art, fostering a more inclusive and diverse artistic community.
Lastly, gifting samples of my art also paves the way for future opportunities for me. This strategy is about building a foundation for long-term relationships with art lovers and collectors.
