Salome Artwork

Hi. My name is Lynda Charles and art helped me find myself at a point where I was asking, “what do I do with my life?” Here I am several years later, a self-taught artist drawn to creating pieces that talk about our life as human beings, and our relationship with each other. I confess that I prefer portraying the female form because I find it so much more interesting. One of my biggest goals is to make every piece I create tell an emotional story. Because of this, my media has evolved over the years from charcoal on paper to charcoal and acrylic on canvas. This is also why I prefer making large works and taking my time; I believe the smallest details, whether it’s facial expressions or shades and hues, render the most meaning. Take a minute to browse my portfolio and see if any of these stories speak to you.
