Charles Ringer
was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1948.
He attended the University of Colorado from
1966-1968, and then left to pursue a career
in art. He then traveled the country for
three years with his wife Emily. They lived
on the road and worked out of a studio trailer
that Charles built. "This experience
has proven to be the foundation of my education,"
says Charles. In 1971, Charles and his wife
bought property in Joliet, Montana and converted
the existing buildings to studio and gallery
space.
"For me, art is a delicate balance of
mental imagination and physical translation.
In my work, the trial and error method has
assured an insight into this balance. Mental
creativity is infinite, with art being the
physical projection, that extends it to others,
for their own interpretation. The combination
is synergistic, the end result, again, infinite."
