About

Charlie is a textile artist based in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Beginning his journey into textile art in late 2023, he has developed a practice that transforms personal emotional experiences into tactile, visual narratives through hand-tufted rugs.

He's entirely self-taught as an artist, and his partial color blindness influences his bold color palette, as he selects yarns based on contrast and visual impact rather than specific hues, creating dynamic relationships between colors that enhance the emotional resonance of each piece.

What began in Fall 2024 as a way to process personal transformation has evolved into a practice of making the invisible visible. Each piece created is rooted in real emotional experiences, translating concepts from Charlie’s mental health journey into visual form through hand-tufted rugs. The softness of the textile medium makes challenging psychological concepts more approachable—the texture invites people to lean in rather than turn away.
