Charlene is a German-American artist based in San Diego. She received her BA in Studio Arts from San Diego State University. Mosley’s current work discusses the importance of looking into one's self and allowing it to emerge in daily life. So often in a society that has certain standards and expectations, a lot of our true self is hidden or tamed to fit in, to appear a certain way or to belong. Her body of work is meant to inspire the viewer to live as courageously as a tiger, as resilient and freeing as a butterfly and to shed in renewal, like a snake. The wild animals reveal a unique connection to each person they are portrayed with. They embody attributes such as courage, strength, transformation, and reinvention, offering a sense of empowerment by their sheer presence. Mosley's work often depicts people of color surrounded by plants and beautiful stoic animals that harmoniously charge each other in vibrant color. With an interplay of expressive brushwork and texture Mosley evokes movement and excitement, capturing the viewer’s eye in a journey of discovery. Mosley has exhibited in both national and international exhibitions and won several awards. She also works as a freelance artist on a multitude of projects, including: murals, commissions and book illustrations; with a specialty in children’s books. In 2016, Mosley was one of the contributing artists of “Loving Vincent“, the 1st fully painted, Oscar-nominated feature film. This opportunity was the artist’s first time working in animation. Creating 250+ frames for the film, “was life-changing and a motivation to keep pursuing my passion as an independent artist”, notes Mosley. Mosley has travelled extensively to work on projects with national as well as international clientele. She is currently represented by Sparks Gallery in southern California. Her solo exhibition, “Embrace The Inner Wild” will open this September 1st, 2024 and will last one month.
