Chuck Rose is a self-taught, professional artist and painter who has specialized in large-scale mixed-media paintings since 2002. A native of Tennessee raised in North Carolina, Rose now calls Raleigh home. His work is celebrated for its dynamic interplay of bold color and design with subtle, layered nuances that evoke powerful emotional responses and striking visual appeal.

Rose began painting at age 12, inspired by modern art masters such as Richard Diebenkorn, Franz Kline, Conrad Marca-Relli, and Ellsworth Kelly. These foundational influences continue to shape his artistic vision. Despite his early passion for art, Rose initially pursued a different path, earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and spending 17 years in the corporate world. He later founded a high-end gardening and landscape company in Atlanta before returning to North Carolina to focus fully on his art.
