All TPG and MBAA members are invited to join us at Art Center Morro Bay, on Sunday, March 10 at 2 p.m. for a presentation by Patricia Newton on marketing your artwork.
Join Patricia Newton and learn ways to showcase your talent and turn passion into recognition with a plan for your personal art marketing solutions.

S. with favorite venues in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Sedona, Arizona. His work is included in the collection of the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

Since 2002, he has devoted all his creative energies to digital photography. He now owns Giclée Print and Photo and ReelEyes Photography.
Chuck has a variety of interests, including classic cars and flying, but he is most well known locally for portraits and event photography, which includes his work with Hospice, CASA, and the League of Women Voters, and his technique of putting photos on canvas. He will be showing his wide ranging photos, explaining his technique, and discussing his journey to professional artist.
