Charles Moodie, a professional artist for 15 years has been continually represented by Seaview Gallery for many years where he has participated in many exhibitions.

He commenced his early art training at the Gordon Institute, Geelong. Between 1970-72 Charles travelled overseas and furthered his studies in fine art at the Sir John Cass College of Art, Whitechapel, London, and the City Literature Institute, London.

Charles travelled around Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and it was during this time abroad that he became interested in the French impressionist style and English watercolour, notably Turner, Girtin, and Bonnington.

On returning to Australia, he began painting on a more serious basis, concentrating largely on watercolour and all its possibilities.

Charles has received numerous awards and honourable mentions for his work and has had successful solo and group exhibitions, both in Australia and France at La Galerie, and Main D?or, Paris.

Charles is a member of the Victorian Artists Society and the Old Watercolour Society. Primarily a topographical watercolourist, he also works in pastel and oils.

His work is represented in both private, corporate and government institutions in Australia, including the new Parliament House, Canberra. He is also represented in New Zealand, U.S.A., U.K., France and Belgium.
