Chuck Kovacic obtained grants and scholarships allowing him to acquire a BFA in graphic design from the
Cleveland Institute of Art. As an art director he collaborated upon print campaigns for Owens Corning, Ford,
National City Bank and detailed urban revitalization programs for Midwest communities as part of the "Main
Street" program for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. On leaving the agency profession he relocated
to Southern California where his artistic skills as a restoration expert focused upon items associated
with pre-1950 merchandising and related antiques. His clients include serious collectors of the genre as well
as prominent auction houses.
Although he had pursued painting as his minor at the Institute, it was only recently that he resumed painting.
Rendered in the traditional "plein-air" style of the Impressionists, his painting investigates a diversity of subject
matter, some of which he shares here. "The differences of light and foliage are subtleties which continue
to intrigue me." These differences are manifest with his recent paintings of Tuscany. He is an 'artist' member
of the California Art Club.
Our “for-sale” venues at various valley businesses continue to do well for exhibiting members. And, considering that there’s no entry fee and only a 20% commission for the host business, the opportunity to exhibit for a month at a time is quite a bargain. See Art Around Town for details, and contact Marilyn or Marie to reserve a spot for your work.
