"I love to paint dramatic light, like those paintings by Edward Hopper, my favorite artist. I love boats and the reflections in water, or on the curves of a classic automobile. I also love to capture old buildings and signs, nostalgic scenes from the past. It's wonderful to live in such a beautiful part of the country. I feel so fortunate to be able to capture it's beauty, and share it with others.”

Charles Szeglin
Charles (Charlie) has been painting for, give or take... 50+ years. It began while he was in the U.S. Navy and stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. It really accelerated, however, in 1962 when he began graduate work at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He was inspired by the great marshes of the Hackensack River estuary that he traveled through every day, to and from his first job in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
“I saw the marshes in sun, snow, flood, storms, seasonal changes .....and at night. I began by making horizontal works with bands of color suggesting the marsh grasses and the sky with the changes of the seasons as my guide. Later I introduced actual fragments of marsh grasses as a collage material.”
Charlie was Director of Art for Bergenfield, a suburban New Jersey district with seven schools for 25 years, and a teacher of art for 31 years.
His paintings and prints were shown in galleries and exhibitions in the greater New York and New Jersey region from the 1960s through the 1990s, often in conjunction with the Painting Affiliates of the Art Center of Northern New Jersey. More recently he has exhibited in several locations near where he now lives, on Cape Cod.
