Artist Chuck Caplinger’s realism and love of nature combine to make him a master at portraying the wildlife and landscapes of the desert Southwest in his paintings and murals. In 1997, the Texas-born artist and his actress wife, Holgie Forrester, left their Hollywood art studio and relocated to Twentynine Palms, California, on the edge of the Mojave Desert. His “world headquarters” ~ Desert Art Studio & Gallery ~ is located in a spacious dome house near the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.

Chuck Caplinger’s paintings are regularly exhibited in galleries and public buildings in Twentynine Palms and Yucca Valley, CA, and in Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council exhibitions and annual Open Studio Art Tours. Caplinger’s murals can be found throughout Southern California, and his oil paintings and portraits hang in private collections around the world. He is available for murals, mural consulting, painting commissions, and custom portraits at Desert Art Studio & Gallery ~ (760)361-2305 by appointment.
