Charlie Asher is a native Californian who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and now resides in Folsom, California. His love of Northern California and passion for San Francisco and the Sierra mountains is a major contributor to his art.

His style is reminiscent of the impressionists. He strives to capture the scene quickly by focusing only on the essential. His definition of art is simple: Reality filtered through dreams. In his artwork you will see a dream-like quality versus photographic.

No formal education in the arts, Charlie is self-taught. As a young man, constant repetition copying Van Gogh drawings and paintings, honed his style. In 2006 he studied under Anita Wolff, a well- known Northern California Artist, and learned her technique for setting up the canvas and quick capture of form.

Charlie is currently showing his work at the Procissi “Wine Gallery” on Sutter Street in Old Folsom. Other past venues for his work: California State Fair ; 404 Gallery in Roseville; 48 Natoma Street Gallery in Folsom; Z Gallery in Folsom, The Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg.
