I'm 53 yrs. old. I have raised two boys, whom I am very proud of. I trained as a barber, and still enjoy cutting hair.
I grew up in Montreal. I always sketched as early as 3 years
of age. Started experimenting with oils at twelve, used to do
chalk pastels.
Arrived in B.C. at the age of19. Was a barber for sometime.
I did some selling in the park for 2 summers, but it wasn't
the right market. I just kept practising on my own until now.
Thank you for your interest.

    "Charna is a true artist in every sense, put a paint brush in her hand and the impossible happens. I never met her in person, but she is a lovely and beautiful lady whose work is prominently featured here on Flickr. Viewing Charna's progress on her portraits as she posts is akin to watching a master at work and the subject coming to life...she creates Pygmalion like figures that pop out of the canvas. I love the way she captures lighting and highlights. Her art belongs on walls everywhere. She needs her own gallery so all her Flickr fans can visit! :D"

    "Charna is an intelligent and creative soul. Her art is a reflection of that fact. Her attention to detail, use of light, composition, and colour are superb. I just adore her work. A family member of mine had purchased a painting that she had done and he proudly displays it in his home. Great job and I hope to see more of your wonderful work, Charna!"

    "Charna has magic.

    She weaves wonders with her stupendous skill.

    Just look. Look at the way the dog's eyes glisten. Look at the twinkle in the man's eyes, the way the beautiful actress's lips come alive.

    She does all this by some wondrous alchemy. She brings her subjects to life - and, for that, we should be eternally grateful."

    "Charna è un artista che, con la sua raffinatezza e grande studio accademico ed amore per l'arte, sta dimostrando di avere veramente un gradissimo talento. La naturalezza e la perfezione dei suoi ritratti lascia senza parole ogni volta e sorprende come un artista contemporaneo possa realizzare opere di tale bellezza e professionalità...pari solo ad artisti di altri tempi molto blasonati e riconosciuti!
    Il suo amore per le arti, in tutte le sue forme, lo riversa in tutte le opere che realizza... con grande stile, tecnica e perfezione. Il colore, la luce sono sempre perfetti... l'anatomia del corpo e l'espressione dei visi incantevoli!! Una gran donna ed una grande artista... una donna che con il suo coraggio, la sua serenità, il suo amore e la sua grande passione sta dimostrando di essere semplicemente una "donna" da ammirare per tutto quello che realizza oggi e realizzerà per il futuro prossimo!!!
    Con grandissima stima ed affetto, Angelo."
