Charles "Chuck" Gilliam was born into a military family, this
he offered her the opportunity to travel and see much of this great
our country.

 These trips provided him with a great source of
materials on which to base his illustrative works (consider his
"illustrative" work, as he wants each piece to tell a story).
 
Forty years ago, Chuck moved to Texas, and there he found the
subject that he most wanted to paint: the West, with its cowboys and horses. with his own Native American.

​

He has even worked on images that portray pieces of his tradition, the sights and sounds moved him, and he worked to put them on paper, and that's how he began and has continued to this day.

​

Several years ago he began working with colored pencils, this medium allowed him great flexibility in execution, it allows both a loose and tight rendering, it allows Chuck to put many or few details, the juxtaposition of the representation gives power to his painting, the details give you something to hold onto, while also giving you room to write your own story while looking at the painting. And these pieces are "paintings"
In every sense of the word.
