REAL AMERICANA IN OILS Chuck clearly captures the real americana in a broad variety of scenes & landscapes

Chuck Frye, a native of South Carolina, studied oil painting at Limestone College in his hometown and at the University of Georgia where he received a BFA in drawing and painting 

He worked as a carpet designer until 2000 when he began oil painting full time in his Ringgold, GA home studio.  Frye creates paintings from his photographs and real life settings in a traditional style focusing on a naturally realistic approach.  He prefers working out a few carefully crafted compositions using Adobe Photoshop and rendering them on canvas in lengthy painting sessions.  

He is an active member of the Association for Visual Arts in Chattanooga, TN where he frequently exhibits in juried and member shows.  He also exhibits in several other regional shows and art venues throughout the year.  His original paintings and portraits are held in many private and corporate collections throughout the region.
