Charles Herndon

Charles Herndon recieved a BFA in Sculpture from the Cleveland Institue of Art in 1971. He works out of his studios on Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, a sculpture studio built in 1980 and a painting and photography studio built in 2000. He also has some studio space in Columbus Ohio, where, at the Columbus College of Art and Design, he has taught for the last thirty years. His sculpture in stone, wood and metal has been a focus for him, as have been painting and photography. As time has gone on and the hazards linked to sculpture and to teaching in a constantly polluted atmosphere have taken their toll, he has spent an increasing amount of time painting and working on his photographs. In 2000 he built a gallery on Kelleys Island, a two-story 48x35 foot building. In 2002 he built another two-story building of the same size. Over that time he has been developing a sculpture garden in a ten-acre area around the galleries. The newer of the two galleries contains space dedicated to exhibiting the work of other artists.
