Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio. Some twenty four years later
he retired as one of the college's most endeared professors. The
desire to pursue his art full time separated "Chick" from his alma
mater, but it did not end his close relationship with it. In June of
1998, Charles Peterson was honored as the inaugural inductee
into the Marietta College "Alumni Faculty Hall Of Fame'.
With this special place having played such an important part in
Charles Peterson's life, he was moved to create a painting to aid
in a major capital campaign for Marietta. "Time-Honored
Marietta" celebrates a proud heritage, featuring real personalities
from the past who have played significant roles in the life of the
college. The image has been published in two limited editions:
a "Gallery Edition" (950 s/n) for distribution through authorized
dealers nationwide, and a personalized "Marietta Campaign
Edition" (200 s/n), produced solely for presentation to major
benefactors of the college.
The limited edition art of Charles Peterson was introduced to
a national audience for the first time in 1988. Within three
years U.S.Art magazine listed him among the most popular
artists in the industry, an honor that has been repeated every
year since. Collectors all across the country anxiously await
each new release in "The Memories Collection" of limited
edition prints. less
