Chuck's family immigrated to the United States from Poland at the age of
fourteen, where he completed high school. Chuck received his formal art
education from the American Academy of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago,
after which he studies with renowned marine artist Charles Vickory.

In the following years he won many awards in local and regional art exhibitions.
After a painting trip to the Rocky Mountains, he moved to Colorado.

In pursuit of artistic quality, Chuck devotes all his time to painting on
location or in his studio. His lush representational style of painting follows
the best tradition of American Art.
