Charles Frizzell
Colorado Artist


Frizzell’s art is collected internationally, and the list of honors and awards he has received
in regional and national exhibitions is extensive. His work is in the permanent collection of
the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, and in the Francis S. King Collection of Western Art
at the Pueblo Fine Arts Center in Pueblo, Colorado. His landscape paintings have been
included twice in the Top 100 of the prestigious annual Arts for the Parks exhibitions,
winning a bronze award for his “Anasazi Sunset” from Hovenweep National Park, and later
being selected as a poster artist in this national competition for his “Treasures of Chaco“.

His painting “Shifting Shadows” of the Great Sand Dunes National Monument was included
in the 2006 Arts for the Parks exhibition. The inclusion of his fantasy art into “Spectrum 7;
The Best of Contemporary Fantastic Art” in 2000 marked his first acceptance into an
international juried exhibition. His painting, “Wizard’s Vale” accepted into “Spectrum 11” in
2004 was among the 300 accepted pieces out of over 4,000 submitted entries. In 2007, his
award winning works will be included in the “Winners’ Round Up” exhibition at the Phippen
Museum in Prescott, AZ.

He is very versatile with style, subject, and media, and although he worked for years with
oils on canvas, most of his recent paintings are rendered in acrylics on stretched canvas. He
also continues to work with his watercolors, pen and ink drawings, graphite drawings,
lithography, and a unique mixed media. His highly realistic acrylic landscapes reflect his
love of and concern for the earth, while his watercolors speak of the relationship of humans
with their environment and the tools they have used to implement that relationship. A new
series of monumental landscapes done in the minor scale of 4” X 4” and 6”x6”, as well as
intricate studies of organic forms, such as rocks and leaves, has introduced a new and
popular dimension to his work. His mystical figurative images of Native American people
have been collected worldwide and published on calendars, note cards, books, CD covers
and collector plates.

Born 1944 in western Kentucky, Charles Frizzell has been creating artwork all his life.
After graduating from Murray State University in 1967 with a B.S. in Fine Arts, Frizzell
headed west, settling in Colorado in 1969. He now lives and works in a small central
Colorado town noted for its artistic atmosphere and outdoor activities. His wife, Doris, is
an avid hiker and Charles joins her in exploring the many trails through the surrounding
mountains. They have close access to some of the most beautiful scenery in Colorado,
including the Arkansas River and the Bighorn Sheep canyon.
