Charles Heath works with several different types of material when creating his wonderful art. While at his art gallery, you will see oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, acrylic, pastels, mixed, and even photographs of the area. Charles Heath’s art gallery is simply amazing. Some of my favorite pieces are his pieces that involve the moon, such as ‘Moonscape II”. Heath’s work shows the wide variety of scenery that North Carolina has to offer, ranging from views of the mountains to lighthouses out on the coast.
