The name of this long since beached and abandoned craft is "Point Reyes." This name is derived from the actual Point Reyes, a thin strip of land north of San Francisco that juts out into the Pacific like a skeletal hand. Point Reyes, the ship, was apparently a cruise or fishing boat (You can see the splash guard along the top of the cabin). For whatever reason it is now run aground and no longer plies the waves. Instead, it "sails" through beach grasses and sand. This sort of wreck always makes me a little sad. Just think of the planning and skill that went into the building of the craft, and of the faithful service it performed, and of the number of people that enjoyed cruising on it. It seems like an inglorious way to go.

Chuck's creative background is wide and varied. He was a professional violinist, a published author, a multilingual graphic designer, a community college teacher, a Lutheran (ELCA) pastor, and a book designer (interior and covers). As a result, his work could be broadly categorized as digital art. His graphic design influences his digital art; and his digital art has features of his design work. In other words, they overlap. Someone put it this way: "What you do is not traditional art, and it isn't strictly graphic design. It's somewhere in-between." Chuck says he couldn't have said it better.
