About the artist:

Charles Baughman is a nationally known, contemporary, Abstract Expressionist painter, as well as a long-time art educator. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts and Art History from Kearney State College in Kearney, Nebraska and his Master of Fine Arts in Painting/Sculpture from Wichita State University.

He has developed and taught classes ranging from Art Appreciation and Figurative Sculpture to advanced drawing courses and painting.
