WEED, Charles (b. 1970)

Charles Weed was born in Champlin Minesota in 1970. He studied drawing at the Hermann-Bougie Studios in Minneapolis from 1988 to 1990. Charles was a student and assistant instructor at the studio Cecil-Graves, Florence, Italy from 1990 to 1991. He has lived and worked in Boston, London, Amsterdam, Lucca and Florence and taught at the Florence Academy of Art periodically throughout the 1990s.
Charles now lives in Svendborg, Denmark with Louise Camille Fenne and their two children and he plans to return to Florence soon.

“As exhibiting my work is, in itself, an attempt to meet the spectator at least half-way, I leave the understanding of it up to them.”
