Engaged with and aware of the extensive history of Canadian landscape painting, Rod Charlesworth is committed to providing his viewers with a refreshing, often celebratory approach to the landscape. His work consciously comments on beauty and the ephemeral within the landscape, done so in a manner of mark making that is unique to his visual vocabulary. Rod received a diploma in fine arts from Okanagan College in the 1970s and has been exhibiting across Canada since then.
