Charles Michael Able - The Iceman

I am a self-taught visual artist. I have been immersed in creativity my entire life. Whether it was building go-carts and skateboards as a youngster or using math, computer science and bio-physics as an adult, I have always embraced innovation and creativity.

My hope is that you can connect with the artwork that I have been blessed to create. Visual art - abstract paintings & mixed media art - has released an inner joy and allowed me to embrace beauty in a way I have never known before. 

Growing up on the streets of East Baltimore I survived by developing an ability to adapt, adjust and excel in many different environments and situations. I am proud to join with others that love beauty and embrace art in its many forms. 

I am on a mission to bring joy and beauty into the world through the use of abstract art, particularly fluid art using acrylic paint on canvas and mixed media artworks.  From the unique perspective of a life that has blazed trails both professionally and culturally, I hope to bring an insight and sensibility that permeates my artwork.
