Biography
Chuck Mauldin Born 1949
A native of Texas, Chuck Mauldin has been painting in oil
since the age of twelve. His interest in watercolor and pencil
drawing grew during his years spent in Louisiana. With his move
back to Texas, he has renewed his focus on oil painting, using this
medium in a realistic yet painterly style. Striving to quickly capture
color and mood with a direct "alla prima" technique is one of his
main objectives in painting outdoors on-location. Cows, cowboys
and Native Americans often enrich the landscape in his studio work,
while anything can inspire his plein air paintings.
Workshops with Charles Sovek, Kevin Macpherson, and many others have
played a significant role in his development as an artist. In 2024, he achieved Signature
membership status in one of the most prestigious national art organizations, the Oil
Painters of America. This accomplishment came after having work accepted into OPA
juried competitions, namely, the OPA National Show (2020, 2021, 2024), Western
Regional Show (2016, 2021, 2022) and Salon Show (2016, 2020). Many years ago,
Chuck achieved Signature status in the Louisiana Watercolor Society and the Plein Air
Artists of Colorado.
After 28 years in Louisiana, Chuck and his wife, Barbara, moved to
Fredericksburg, Texas, in 2005, in order to pursue their passion for art on a full-time
basis. In 2008, Chuck started teaching a beginner’s oil painting class and later
intermediate classes in composition, landscape painting, and limited palettes. He is
represented by Charles Morin Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas. His work is also
displayed at Lee-Bunch Studio Gallery, Del Rio, TX, and Brookwood Gallery,
Brookshire, TX.
Degrees in chemistry from Southern Methodist University (B.S.) and the
University of Texas (PhD) led to Chuck's career in research at Exxon Research &
Development Labs in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He presently holds 57 U.S. patents in
the field of catalysis. He and Barbara have two sons and a daughter, and 8 perfect
grandchildren. An Eagle Scout, Chuck served as a Scout leader for seventeen years.
