Born and raised in St. Catharines, Ontario (Port Dalhousie in summer), Chuck graduated in General Dentistry from the University of Toronto in 1955. He had a preventive practice until 1997 in St. Catharines, specializing in crowns, bridges and orthodontics.

His passion for painting began around 1970 under the guidance of Jay Herriott and he has continued painting, when inspired, as a hobby. His favourite medium is oil using a palette knife technique and lots of paint, vivid colors and plenty of imagination. He paints a variety of subjects. Lately, on the advice of Angie Straus (a noted NOTL artist), he has switched to using water-based oils on stretched canvas and feels he will paint more. He also finger paints small scenes mainly with oil on white floor tile, a technique picked up in Mexico.

His favourite artists are Duaiv, Pino, Kierstead, Bateman, Rockwell, and Wayland, who give him inspiration. His hope is to make his art more known and available through Giclee Reproductions.
