Charles Zuill grew up on a dairy farm in Bermuda and this is where his love of nature and science developed. He approaches art as a scientific process of experimentation. He holds a BA in Fine Art from Atlantic Union College, an MFA in painting and printmaking from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Critical Studies from New York University. In addition, he studied drawing and painting at The Byam Shaw School of Art, London, drawing and sculpture at The Heatherley School of Fine Art, London, and conducted research at the Bauhaus Archive. His influences include Paul Klee and Josef Albers. His artwork has been included in each Bermuda Biennial since 1994, he has had numerous solo and group exhibitions on Island and overseas, and his artwork can be found in the permanent collection of the Bermuda National Gallery, of which he is a founding trustee.
