| ABOUT THE ARTIST |
| Charles Wysocki |
 | |  | |  | |  |
Some things about Charles Wysocki’s life can be anticipated. For instance, he collects Early
American toys, tobacco tins, folk art, clocks, crockery and books. High on the list of favorite places are
Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard... and all of New England. Other things are a surprise: while he paints
typically New England scenes, he lives in California. Yet one only has to look at his work to
understand the person. Born in Detroit in 1928, Wysocki enjoyed an active and happy boyhood, which
seems reflected in the spirit of his work. Since early childhood, he had no other desire than to be an
artist. After two years in the Army, Wysocki headed west to the Art Center School in Los Angeles, the
city where he met his wife Liz, to whom he attributes much of his inspiration because she grew up on
a farm. The aspects of her life that affected him were the basics: hard work, personal closeness and
contentment with life’s "little things." Wysocki adds, "I hope my paintings revive pleasant thoughts of
a bygone era and express a semblance of order and serenity that fills a need in this fast- changing
world. I like to add a touch of humor into my work. I see life on the lighter side, in much simpler and
more basic forms." Wysocki’s award-winning art is sought-after internationally and has been
published in two books, American Celebration and Heartland.
