Charlie Stoetzel is a young Chicago based artist who creates from home. Beginning to create early in his life, he struggled in school, not due to a lack of drive, but due to his constant daydreaming and doodling. Through this self-taught process, he began honing his skills and by 2016 his identity revolved primarily around creation. His inspiration comes from inside, and out. Internally, he has struggled with depression, anxiety, head injuries, and addiction. Entering a creative headspace not only frees him of these labels but allows him to release and express his emotions positively. Externally, he constantly listens to music, surrounds himself with loved ones, and immerses himself in nature. Without these three important influences, his art would not appear as it does. His primary mediums are acrylic on canvas and ink on paper, but he sculpts with clay and wire as well.
