Chuck Carbia received his BFA in drawing and painting from Florida State University in 1993. He recently received a MFA in studio art from the University of South Florida in 2003. Chuck is currently an adjunct professor for drawing at FSU and Chipola College in Marianna.

     Chuck's paintings range from quiet meditative watercolors to large expressive acrylic paintings. Currently, his paintings deal with suspending objects and figures in motion and allowing the process of painting to remain apparent.

     While Chuck focuses more of his time on painting, he has also been a part of many performance groups. The performances always involve pushing the spectacle of costume and music while allowing the viewer to remain closely connected through familiar character representation or popular songs.

     Chuck has had shows of his paintings and performances nationally and internationally. He currently resides in Tallahassee Florida.
