As a child growing up in Wisconsin, artist Charly
Palmer remembers the desire to paint
landscapes; to capture the mood, the light and
shadow of the land around him. He went on to
discover more of his talent by attending the
School of the Art Institute in Chicago and
receiving a degree from the American Academy
of Art.
The art of Charly Palmer has grown from
landscapes to painting his favorite subject,
people. His works communicate to the viewer
the artist's pride in his people and his strong
belief and love of God. Throughout the work,
with the use of acrylic paint and marbleized
paper, one will find words of inspiration, of
strength and pride. There is no doubt to the
viewer that for Palmer art is his life. It is from his
wife and his children that he finds his most
inspiration, and it is love, God and hope that
inspires him in life.
The awards this artist has received for his work
are numerous, including the 1996 Olympic Poster
and again in 1998 the US Olympic Committee
honored Palmer by selecting him to paint the
US Olympic Poster for the Winter Olympics in
Nagano, Japan.
