CHARLES EMERY ROSS

After a career in the world of advertising, serving in roles from art director to TV producer Charles Ross now paints full time in his Pendleton Art Center studio in the historic Over the Rhine section of Cincinnati.

A colorist and a graduate of the Central Academy of Commercial Art in Cincinnati, Ross' work range from contemporary to abstract. His award winning work is found in many private as well as corporate collections in America and abroad.

Ross regards each of his paintings as an adventure and a journey. "My hope is to take the viewer somewhere as well. It may not be the same place the piece took me, but rather somewhere they have been, or better yet, somewhere they have never seen."
