A lifelong artist, Charlene has worked in a variety of
media. In 1991, she acquired a 22"x60" hand-pulled etching press. Since then,
she has
concentrated mainly on etchings using multiple plates (either copper, zinc,
steel) to produce full color etchings. The artist likes to combine several
different intaglio processes to achieve a variety of effects and textures. She
also enjoys working in watercolor, mixed media, and encaustic. The encaustic
process uses pure color pigments and beeswax and is fused with intense heat. Her
works have been included and/or featured in international, state and local
shows. She is an active member of numerous regional and local groups. She
received her art education from PNCA, PCC, OSAC and continues to attend classes
and workshops.
In Portland, she is represented by Broderick Gallery and Northwest Print
Council (Print Art Northwest)
