Born in Detroit in 1928, Wysocki enjoyed an active and happy boyhood, which seems reflected in his work.  After studying at the Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles, he began a career as commercial artist in Detroit.  He soon abandoned it for the more independent life of freelancing.  Returning to California, he married and established home there.  Chuck and Elizabeth Wysocki have a great deal in common.  They share an art background and the ethic of hard work.  They have succeeded in capturing the rare sense of serenity that results from being content with the simple things of life, they envision an earlier, slower paced lifestyle in time with their own thinking and philosophy.  Such are the influences that have combined to develop Wysocki's personal style of painting and choice of subject matter.  He is now in that exclusive company of artists whose work sells as fast as it can be produced.  Winner of more than 50 awards, he has been in major group and one-man shows from coast to coast.
