About the Artist
Chuck Robertson’s favorite question is “Why not?” This simple inquiry encourages the freedom to see nature as well as objects in unique ways. His confident eye captures and translates subjects for the viewer with profound clarity.

Chuck has honed his craft over decades. He attended Campbell University and Randolph Tech majoring in Commercial Photography. His first job at Waller Studio in Raleigh landed him among the last wave of the 1970s photographers, which offered incomparable experiences such as photographing Susie Marshall Sharp, the first female member of the NC Supreme Court.

Chuck’s career took a turn and he moved into creative photography which included a variety of landscapes and buildings. He captured the changing seasons and life of a pond over a period of twenty years. That pond, sadly, has now been lost to us due to development. Another solitary pleasure for this artist was rising early and recording images of Sunday mornings coming to various shops and buildings bereft of their usual visitors.

Perhaps most influential in Chuck’s evolution as an artist was his introduction to Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Key aspects of this art form—minimalism, harmony, asymmetry, and symbolism—resonated strongly with Chuck and have deeply shaped his still life work.


Please stop by to experience Chuck Robertson’s contemplative work in person. Your support of local artists and the creative spirit of our community makes exhibits like this possible.

Warmly,
Zebulon Downtown Arts Council
