About The Artist


Charles Wallis is a graduate of the Baylor University fine art program. After college he opened a graphic design studio beginning his career as a artist. His paintings reflect mastery of his craft and versatility in a variety of styles and media. He paints in a traditional realistic style, as well as impressionistic, abstract. ARTISTS STATEMENT:  My art is an expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it.  I seek to create a memory, a wish, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer.  I pursue ideas, color combinations or images that attract my attention and paint them as an impression; or abstraction and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual manner. Recent shows and awards: April 2021 - Texas House Of Representatives in the 87th session passed a resolution recognizing my art.
