Northern Sunset, True North

Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955, Terrace, BC) is a painter whose vivid landscapes and playful figural works draw on the legacies of Impressionism and the Group of Seven. Largely self-taught, with early studies at Okanagan College, he developed a style defined by bold colour, expressive brushwork, and a distinctly Canadian sensibility. From sweeping western vistas to whimsical depictions of children at play, Charlesworth’s art celebrates both landscape and culture with immediacy and vitality.
