Charles Burkhead
Charles Burkhead, a native of Asheboro, North Carolina, is known for his clay sculpture, watercolors and abstract acrylic paintings. His small-scale clay sculpture represents the human form in a variety of different relaxed positions, much like a "sketch in clay," says Burkhead.
Burkhead began his career experimenting with pencil and pen-and-ink line drawings. He has recently ventured into miniature watercolor paintings, shown in galleries from the North Carolina coast to the mountains.
Burkhead received his undergraduate degree from North Carolina State University, School of Design and a Masters Degree from the School of Design at Harvard University. He currently resides in Raleigh, NC.
"Art is fun," says Burkhead. "You can forget all your problems while you're sculpting and drawing... it's great therapy!"
