Where I Live Now, New Works by Charlie Hunter.

Charlie Hunter was raised in Weathersfield Center, Vermont where he was home schooled in the house built by his great great great grandfather. Hunter majored in art at Yale University, studying with painters William Bailey, Richard Lytle and Bob Reed, architectural historians Vincent Scully and Alex Gorlin and designers Alvin Eisenmann and Inge Druckery. He lived in Northampton, MA in the 80's and 90's, working as a graphic designer and music manager, returning to Vermont in 2000. During his years as a designer, Hunter created over fifty album covers for acts on major and independent labels. In the 90's he won the Canson-Talens International Pastel Grand Prize.

Charlie Hunter now shows his paintings regularly at galleries in the Northeast and his works hang in numerous private collections. When not painting, he runs occasional transcontinental music and art trains, live music events, and is active in local farmers markets.

Some reactions to Charlies show from pine street art works visitors:
"This gives me goosebumps."
"The pictures go right to the soul"

"I wanted these paintings to have strong design and fleeting light - the atmosphere of each specific day, rather than attempting to make them depend on color per se. "
