Charles Snowden (b. San Diego, CA) In 2012, he received a B.A. in Studio Art from Humboldt State University. Charles has exhibited in venues throughout California such as the San Diego Art Institute, Oceanside Museum of Art, California Center for the Arts, and William D. Cannon Gallery. He is currently an Instructional Assistant for Mira Costa College’s Art Department in Oceanside, California. Charles will pursue an MFA in Fine Art at UCLA starting this fall.

The artist describes the work “My work investigates past, present, and future relationships with people, places, and objects. The figure and plant life are used to express a desire for connection to my environment. However, the work is derived from personal experiences that evoke feelings of distance and detachment. Articulating these emotions can be difficult, even when the memories that perpetuate them are easy to hold on to. By creating a vulnerable place, I envision forming a deeper connection between my authentic self and the authentic self of the viewer. It is a way to reflect on the ambiguous aspects of existence through shared experiences.”
