Charles Ayars – Abstract Photo Artist
Although a San Diego native, Charles’ interest in photography began on the plains of South Dakota taking pictures of old barns. He retired after 36 years as a Presbyterian Pastor, having served in six states. Over the past eight years, Charles has expanded his artist eye to capturing not only the beauty of nature, but to transforming and layering images to create unique photo collages and abstracts. He uses color and movement to create art that inspires, invites reflection, and many times contains hidden images.
Charles’ prints have been juried and sold in galleries. His art business has been designated as a “Trusted Art Seller” with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that he stand behind the quality and value of his products.
