    Charlie Easton, hailing from a lineage of British artists, relocated to Canada in 2006, captivated by the landscapes reminiscent of the Group of Seven's inspiration. A prolific painter of landscapes and seascapes in oils and acrylics, he is represented by galleries across North America and Europe, showcasing his work in solo exhibitions. As a Senior Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA), he has honed his craft through studies at prestigious institutions like the Slade School of Fine Art and Emily Carr University, alongside numerous global workshops. While based in Vancouver, his true passion lies in painting on location across BC, Alberta, California, and beyond, with residencies in locales such as Haida Gwaii, Banff, and Whistler. Easton's artistic ethos centers on inviting viewers to experience the same exhilarating views that inspire him, focusing on capturing the essence of each scene with maximum fun and minimum fuss, mirroring his life motto.
