Since 2018, Chuck Schroeder has been dedicated to the life of an artist, following an adventurous career as CEO of major industry and cultural organizations, a competitive horseman, rancher, livestock judge, politician, fund raiser, fist shaking activist, and founder of several organizations championing the interests of rural people and communities. After many years of instruction and mentoring with recognized artists in the Taos, NM, community, his work in this chapter of life reflects the beautiful character of people and places that have been built, beaten and honed by time into the elements for a respectful, sustainable society.
Schroeder’s work has been featured in a dozen one-man shows over the last four years in venues ranging from commercial galleries and university campuses to corporate headquarters and retail shops. Private collectors in nine US states have acquired his drawings and paintings through gallery purchases and commissions.
He is an artist member of the Salmagundi Club of New York, and a Master Level Member of the Bright Light Fine Art guild.
