Charles "Brandy" Brandenburg
New Jersey Native Charles Brandenburg is an accomplished artist who works in acrylics, oils, watercolor and pen and inks. Brandenburg, who signs his work "Brandy," is best known for his portrayal of landscapes and outdoor scenes, which capture the simple and sublime beauty of the natural world with a rugged authenticity that demonstrates a deep understanding and appreciation of the land and sea.
While at home in the studio, Brandy takes his greatest inspiration from his love of the outdoors. A lifetime of encounters with the natural world infuses his work with a transformational sense of reverence and wonder. From depictions of salty seaport towns to rustic, sylvan settings to stark snow-capped mountain peaks to heaving, wind-ravaged oceans, Brandy's well-honed artistic sensibility articulates the essence of the real world.
Charles Brandenburg studied art at the Famous Artists Schools in Westport, Conn., and at the Ridgewood Art Institute, in Ridgewood, N.J., where Brandenburg himself now teaches classes in watercolor and oils. Brandenburg is a member of the American Artists Professional League, North Shore Art Association, Pascack Art Association and Ridgewood Art Association. His work inhabits the permanent collections of the American Broadcasting Company and Perillo Tours, as well as numerous private collections. While art is Brandenburg's passion, he is an artisan by trade, and has run a successful masonry business for more than four decades.
