Art by Charlie Oliver Price III
Charlie Oliver Price III is a portrait artist who began drawing at the age of 8. He would draw objects that he found around the house, then moved on to drawing people with accuracy. Many of his pupils and teachers in school were impressed by his work which furthered his motivation to continue drawing throughout his life. He graduated in 1979 from the University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Fine Arts, and owned a graphics arts business from 1980-1983 called “Art by Design”. Over the years, Charlie has been a teacher, counselor, graphic artist, candle maker, laborer, and musician. Besides dedicating his energy to art and drawing, he also competed in boxing, baseball, and basketball. He’s proud to tell you he was the 1976-7, middleweight, UCB champion. Now though, he uses all his power to “render the most realistic portraits that I can…to focus my consciousness in the most satisfying and lasting form”.
