BIOGRAPHY:
Charles Sarka was born to draw and paint, and he did both constantly from childhood until his death at age 81. His old friend the artist Paul Bransom asserted that, throughout his long life in art, "Sarka never drew a bad line."Sarka's travels as a young man produced a rich body of early work. He camped along the Indian River in turn-of-the century Florida and roamed Southern California on horseback. He journeyed to the South Seas, Hawaii, Egypt, Morocco, the Caribbean and Europe. With a delicate touch and an unselfconscious eye, he painted a record of the natural beauty he encountered and of the people he came to know. It is through this work, from the first peripatetic years of his career, that Sarka has been best known.
