Charity Hubbard has been a professional and fine artist for over 20 years.  She lives in Southern Oregon and finds much inspiration around her in landscape and people.

Charity is founder and head instructor of Rogue Classical Atelier, a bustling educational classical art atelier with two locations in the Southern Oregon Rogue Valley. The school offers a progressive program of study in the classical atelier method as well as community classes to youth, teens and adults.

The practice of frequently painting from life on location "en plein air" and people from life is important to Charity.  She feels that the regular exercise of painting from life enables her to better capture life, light and a truer sense of atmosphere, even when painting from life is not possible.

Cheryl began her love affair with the drawing of portraits and figures by copying the faces of pop star personalities from magazines as a teenager. When she graduated from college, her BA degree in Fine Art focused on life drawing in graphite. It was not until 2010 that she added color to her world. Looking to fast-track her knowledge of color and paint, she nested under the wings of over eighteen artist high-fliers in Oregon, California and the Scottsdale Artists' School in Arizona. She can currently be found working and teaching online classes from her home in Prospect, Oregon and teaches in-person classes in Medford, Oregon.
