# About me
We rode on the winds of the rising storm, we ran to the sounds of thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.Hi! I'm Chuck Rondeau, a 58 year old UPS delivery driver from Port Angeles, Washington, the city where the mountains meet the sea. I've been with my wife for almost 40 years, and I have a 23 year old son who is getting married this summer. While UPS pays the bills, my heart belongs to my art. I picked up a pencil and paper when I was 4 years old, and haven't stopped yet. I think I've improved since then with the help of art degrees from Peninsula College and Western Washington University. I mostly do commissioned work, and have donated paintings to the Rocky Mountain Elk foundation and Ducks Unlimited, done the sets for several community plays, designed logos for local businesses, and have done artwork for several advertisements. Every now and then I put the pen and paper together in a different way and write a little poetry. On the advice of one of my customers who is a wonderful photographer, I picked up a DSLR a couple years ago and my wife and I have an amazing time taking photographs.
I also enjoy fishing, hunting with a bow, agate and sea glass hunting, reading, cooking, carving and woodworking, and radio controlled airplanes.
Current Residence: Port Angeles, WA.

wow your art is breath taking, i hope one day i get to be as good as you are, i'm 14 and still got a lot to learn. kids today need to do things like this instead of texting and thing like that

Thank you! At 14 I would say you are doing very well! I was somewhat scatterbrained at 14 and had not yet decided to do primarily wildlife art! My advise to you would be to find what you love to do and attack it relentlessly. You cannot create what you do not know intimately.Most of all, have fun! Best of luck and remember we are all artists just some choose to practice more!Thanks again for the kind words.

Wow thank you very much sir, that was very inspiring to me, I'm still young and need a little work, so far I'm just in small competitions at school, but I really hope I can get as good as you are. Thank you for the inspiration!
