Original paintings and limited apparel. The work deals in what's underneath — hands, thought, the stuff that doesn't have words yet.
Full shop launching soon. Follow @charlieshirleyart for updates.
I'm Charlie — a painter from Reno, Nevada, heading to art school in the UK in September 2025. I work in traditional media: oils, acrylics, whatever the subject demands.
Most of my work starts with the body — hands especially. What they hold, what they reveal, what they're trying to say when words aren't enough. It tends to go to dark places. I think that's where the honest stuff lives.
This site funds the move and the work that comes next. If something here resonates, reach out — I'd rather talk about the painting than sell it in silence.
